FAQ
What division do 5th graders learn?
Fifth graders find whole-number quotients of numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using the standard long-division algorithm and strategies based on place value. This is CCSS 5.NBT.6, and it extends the single-digit-divisor division learned in fourth grade.
Should 5th grade division have remainders?
Both. Students need practice with clean quotients and with interpreting remainders — deciding whether to write the remainder, round up, or express it as a fraction depending on the problem. Use the remainders toggle on this generator to switch between exact-division practice and remainder practice.

Yes — every worksheet on Printable Polly is 100% free with no signup, no account, and no download limit. Choose your options, click Download PDF, and print as many fresh worksheets as you want.
How do I teach 2-digit divisor division?
Start with rounding the divisor to estimate each digit of the quotient, then multiply and subtract just like single-digit long division. Begin with the 1-digit divisor setting to keep the steps short, then switch to 2-digit divisors once the rhythm of divide-multiply-subtract-bring-down is solid.
