Key idea

2072 ÷ 7: 7 into 20 = 2 (14, r6); bring down 7 → 67 ÷ 7 = 9 (63, r4); bring down 2 → 42 ÷ 7 = 6. Answer 296. Keep every digit lined up in its own column.

Sample problems

  1. Compute 728 ÷ 8.
  2. Compute 4095 ÷ 9.
  3. Compute 6032 ÷ 16.
  4. Compute 8120 ÷ 28.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Place-value slip (e.g. 17 or 1017) from misaligning the digits of the quotient.
  • Answered 42 — dropped the final zero because ‘0 ÷ 12 is nothing.’ A zero still holds its place in the quotient.
  • Wrote 901 — inserted a zero that doesn’t belong, or started dividing into 12 and lost a place.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.

How to use this set

  1. Teach with the slides (about 15 minutes), or watch the video together.
  2. Practice with the worksheet. Questions climb from fluency to application to reasoning.
  3. Check understanding with the exit ticket, and send the homework home.
  4. Mark with the answer key — each answer shows the steps and the most likely mistake.
