Long division worksheets with 2-digit divisors

The step up from a one-digit divisor is not the division, it is the estimating. How many 23s in 161 is not a table fact, and a child who has only ever divided by 7 has never had to guess, check and adjust. The grid holds the columns while they do: the first digit of the answer lands over the third digit of the dividend, because 1 and 16 are both smaller than 23, and that is the first thing this sheet teaches.

Six to a page rather than nine, because four digits by two is a tall piece of working — up to three take-aways with a digit brought down after each — and the rows are reserved for the longest case rather than the average one. No remainders here; the builder adds them, and steps the help up to the marked take-away rows or the shaded guided grid.

The answers were worked out when the problems were, so the key is the same page with the answers drawn in rather than a second attempt at the same questions — there is no way for the two to disagree. The number in the footer is the seed the sheet was built from: it is printed so that the identical sheet can be had again next week, rather than one that merely looks like it.

This page is one sheet out of a family that can print thousands, and the settings behind it — how many problems, how big the numbers get, how they are laid out, whether there is room to work — are all switches. The builder link at the top of the page carries this sheet’s own settings, so the bench opens on exactly the sheet here rather than on a blank one.

The configuration travels in the address bar rather than on a server, so the link can be bookmarked or sent to somebody as it stands — and what they open is this sheet, down to the seed, rather than another one like it.

Every estimate on this sheet is a multiplication by a two-digit number, and every take-away is a subtraction. The Grid drills the facts under both.
