Teach long division using the traditional bus-stop layout in this KS2 division worksheet for Year 5 and Year 6.

A worked example walks children through 560 divided by 24, showing how to find the multiple of 24 nearest to 56, then deal with the leftover before bringing down the next digit, finishing on an answer of 23 remainder 8. The page advises writing out the multiples of the divisor first, which makes the method less daunting for children who do not yet have instant recall of times tables beyond ten. Children then complete twelve long division problems with divisors of 15, 12, 22 and 35, including 258 divided by 15, 319 divided by 15, 493 divided by 15, 785 divided by 12, 603 divided by 12 and 196 divided by 12.
