Showing Remainders

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is composed of long division problems where students are tasked with dividing four-digit numbers by single-digit divisors. The format of the worksheet is the traditional long division setup, with space for the quotient above and a placeholder for the remainder indicated by “R.” This structure suggests that students are not only expected to divide but also to be aware of and accurately calculate the remainder of each division problem.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the mechanics of long division, a foundational mathematical skill. By working through these problems, students learn to break down a large number into smaller, more manageable parts, while also keeping track of remainders. This practice is essential for enhancing students’ number sense and understanding of how division works. Additionally, learning to calculate remainders is important for real-world applications where exact division is not always possible and for setting the stage for future mathematical concepts, such as fractions and decimals.
