This worksheet teaches students to divide larger numbers, express remainders as whole numbers, fractions or decimals, and decide whether to round up or down in real problems. The worksheet is split into warm-up questions, standard questions and then extension questions to test you.
The concepts it covers:
- Division and multiplication are linked: 72 ÷ 9 = 8 because 8 × 9 = 72.
- A remainder is what is left over: 29 ÷ 4 = 7 remainder 1, because 7 × 4 = 28 and 29 − 28 = 1.
- A remainder can be written as a fraction of the divisor: 17 ÷ 4 = 4 r 1 = 4 1/4.
- The context tells you what to do with a remainder: round up (everyone needs a seat), round down (only full boxes count), or share it (money, lengths).
What your child will practise:
- Dividing using multiplication facts.
- Dividing 3- and 4-digit numbers by a one-digit number.
- Halving both numbers to make an easier, equivalent division.
- Writing a remainder as a whole number, a fraction or a decimal.
- Deciding whether to round up or down in a word problem.
Every section opens with a worked example, and the download includes a full answer key with step-by-step solutions and teaching notes on the mistakes students most commonly make.
