What this worksheet covers
This is a 16-problem sheet — one page to work through, one page of answers to check against. What makes this set particular: the numbers run as high as 9,430, and every problem is straight division. It is written against Common Core 6.NS.2 — part of The Number System in grade 6.
Skills practiced
The skill underneath these problems is long division with two-digit divisors, and decimal quotients. Concretely, the page tests whether a student can recall the division facts quickly and accurately, without counting up to them. Fluency, not just correctness, is the target here — accurate and unhurried is the mark to aim for.
How to use this worksheet
Have the student work all sixteen problems on their own paper, showing each step, rather than filling answers into the gaps. At grade 6 the method is what is being practised, and an answer with no visible working cannot be diagnosed when it is wrong. Ask the student to re-work one missed problem from scratch rather than correcting the answer in place — the second attempt shows whether the method changed.
One mistake to watch for
The dividend and divisor are reversed: 3 ÷ 12 is computed as 12 ÷ 3.
Division is assumed to always take the larger number first, an assumption that held for every problem the student has seen.
Read the expression aloud in the order written and attach a story. Word problems where the answer is genuinely less than one make the difference impossible to ignore.
