Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Short Division - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to enhance the mathematical skills of Year 6 students, focusing on short division. The objective, as outlined by the National Curriculum, is to divide numbers up to four digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division. The remainder from such divisions should be interpreted as a whole number or rounded as appropriate to the context. To aid the learning process, differentiated worksheets and teaching slides are provided along with a vocabulary list that includes terms such as 'division', 'short division', 'grouping', 'remainders', 'multiples', and 'divisors'.

Building on their existing knowledge of dividing by a single digit, students learn to tackle problems involving division by up to two digits. They are encouraged to make lists of multiples of the divisor to simplify the division process. Real-world applications demonstrate the practical relevance of division, such as determining the number of limousines required for a group of people or the number of boxes needed to package apples. The worksheet includes a variety of division problems, ranging from simple calculations to more complex ones, including one-step and multi-step word problems. Additionally, reasoning and problem-solving questions challenge students to apply their division skills to find missing values and differences between quantities.
