Long Division Word Problems for 5th Grade
A short practice set of three long division word problems for 5th graders, using 4-digit dividends and 2-digit divisors with remainders. It includes a worked example that walks through each step of the division, so students can see why each move happens before they work on their own.
“create a math worksheet with 3 long division word problems. please make sure the division problems consisnt of 2 digiti divors and 4 digit dividends”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as independent practice or a warm-up after a mini-lesson on multi-digit division, allowing roughly 20 to 30 minutes for all three problems.
- Discussion question: Why do we bring down the next digit only after the remainder is smaller than the divisor, and what does the remainder mean in the context of the library books?
- Scaffold for struggling students: Have them work through the worked example aloud with you first, then cover the explanation and try the first problem with a place-value chart or with the divisor's multiples written out beside the work.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own word problem with a 4-digit dividend and 2-digit divisor, then trade with a partner to solve and check each other's remainders.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes including the worked example review.
