Vertical 2 into 3 Division

Worksheet Description

This worksheet gives you 30 problems that have you divide two digits into three digits.  Everything is set in vertical presentation.  We would recommend giving students scrap paper with this worksheet. This worksheet provides a series of division problems, each involving a three-digit dividend and a two-digit divisor. The problems are laid out in a traditional format without the assistance of grids or additional organizational structures, indicating that students are expected to use their understanding of the division process to find the quotient. The inclusion of remainders in some problems suggests that the exercise is meant to challenge students’ ability to handle more complex division calculations that do not result in whole numbers.

The aim of this worksheet is to advance students’ proficiency in long division, particularly with larger numbers. It tests their ability to manage the more demanding aspects of division, such as estimating quotients, handling remainders, and performing multi-step calculations. This practice is essential for reinforcing students’ arithmetic skills and preparing them for real-world applications of division. The worksheet also serves to improve problem-solving abilities and enhance mental math capabilities, as it requires students to perform calculations without the aid of calculators or grid systems.
