KS2 ARITHMETIC PRACTICE

Long division step-by-step (Years 4-6)

This page gives guided long division practice. Children enter each quotient digit and remainder at every step, so they practise the method (not just the final answer).

WHO THIS IS FOR

Best for children aged 8-11 (Years 4-6) who are learning formal written division or want to reduce careless mistakes and work faster under timed conditions.

WHAT YOU LEARN

Choose the next quotient digit by estimating and checking
Track remainders cleanly from step to step
Spot when a digit is too big (and fix it early)
Build accuracy first, then speed with timed practice

A GOOD PRACTICE ROUTINE

Start untimed for 5 minutes and focus on neat, correct steps
When accuracy is strong, switch to timed for 5-10 minutes
If you miss two in a row, pause and do one slow example untimed
Practise 4-5 days per week - short daily sessions work best

COMMON MISTAKES TO WATCH

Forgetting to bring down the next digit
Remainder errors after subtracting
Choosing a quotient digit that is one too high
Skipping checks (multiply back to see if it fits)
