Small Divisors in Brackets

Worksheet Description

This bracket-based division problem features very small divisors.   The goal is just to get students comfortable with these types of division problems. This worksheet presents six long division problems where students are tasked with dividing three-digit numbers by a single-digit divisor. The problems are laid out horizontally across the page, providing a clear and concise format. This setup requires students to write the quotient above the dividend, following the traditional long division method.

The worksheet aims to teach students the standard algorithm of long division, reinforcing their ability to divide larger numbers by smaller ones. It provides practice in the multi-step process of division, which includes estimating the quotient, multiplying, subtracting, and bringing down the next digit to continue the operation. This exercise is crucial for developing mathematical fluency and preparing students for more complex mathematical problems that involve division, such as working with fractions, decimals, and ratios. Through practice, students can also improve their problem-solving skills and numerical understanding.
