Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Long division - 3-digits by 2-digits (no remainders) - Worksheet

The worksheet from masterthecurriculum.co.uk is designed to enhance fluency and precision in long division for students learning to divide three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers without remainders. The National Curriculum objective is to divide numbers up to four digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division and interpret remainders appropriately. Students are provided with differentiated worksheets and teaching slides to aid their understanding. They begin by using an expanded method that shows multiples, which helps to simplify the process before moving on to the more formal long division method. Vocabulary such as division, long division, method, subtracting, and dividend is introduced to familiarize students with the terms.

Students are encouraged to use multiples to aid in division and to understand why subtraction is used in the long division process. The worksheets guide them through calculations with the help of multiples of divisors and then challenge them to complete calculations independently. For example, they are given exercises like dividing 180 by 15 and 768 by 24, using the long division method to arrive at the answers 12 and 32, respectively. The worksheets are structured to cater to different levels of understanding, from those working towards the expected level to those capable of greater depth. Additionally, reasoning and problem-solving questions are included to further develop the students' division skills and to spot and correct mistakes in calculations, such as 666 divided by 18, which should result in 37.
