Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Homework • Use the strategies practiced in class. Show your work and check your answers.

Sample questions

1. 2365 pencils are packed into boxes holding 17 each. How many full boxes and loose pencils are there? Show the division algorithm.
2. For 3829 ÷ 22, a student reports quotient 173 and remainder 23. The multiplication check works. Explain why this is not a valid final remainder and correct it.
3. Divide 1875 by 15. Estimate first using a nearby compatible number. Explain how the estimate checks the size of the quotient.
4. Use the standard algorithm to divide 3202 by 20. Record the quotient and remainder, then check.
5. 3507 pencils are packed into boxes holding 21 each. How many full boxes and loose pencils are there? Show the division algorithm.
6. Divide 5643 by 27. Estimate first using a nearby compatible number. Explain how the estimate checks the size of the quotient.
