Long division worksheets

No remainders on this sheet. A remainder is a change of question rather than a harder version of the same one, and a child who has not been taught what to do with the two left over has been set an impossible problem rather than a stretching one. The builder has the switch for the week that changes.

The working is the exercise here, not the answer, which is why each problem gets a band of blank paper under it rather than a ruled line. The answer key shows the quotient; if it disagrees with what a child got, the place to look is the column the first digit came down into.

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.

A long division is a stack of table facts with subtraction in between. The Grid drills both halves, which is usually where it actually goes wrong.
