Mathematics

This Grade 5 mathematics worksheet builds fluency with dividing whole numbers by multiples of 10, including 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and larger multiples such as 80, 600, and 900. Students solve 20 numerical division problems: 10 multiple-choice questions that ask them to select a quotient and 10 fill-in-the-blank questions that require them to produce the answer. The problems include values with zeros in both the dividend and divisor, such as 40,000 ÷ 10,000, 36,000 ÷ 600, and 6,300,000 ÷ 900. This format helps Grade 5 learners connect place value to efficient division and check whether a quotient is reasonable. Use it for guided practice, independent work, or a quick skills check. It is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key.

FAQs

What does this worksheet cover, and how does it help students learn to divide by multiples of 10?

This Grade 5 worksheet covers division by multiples of 10, from 10 and 100 to values such as 80, 600, and 900. Its 10 multiple-choice and 10 fill-in-the-blank problems require students to determine quotients while tracking place value and the zeros in both the dividend and divisor.

How can I use this worksheet to teach dividing by multiples of 10?

Begin by modeling how to rewrite a problem such as 36,000 ÷ 600 by removing the same number of factors of 10 from both numbers, then connect the simplified problem to the quotient. Complete a few multiple-choice items together and ask students to explain why distractors such as 360 or 3,600 are unreasonable before assigning the fill-in-the-blank problems for independent practice.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete these division problems?

Watch for students who remove zeros from the dividend but not the divisor, or who treat a divisor such as 80, 600, or 900 as though it were 8, 6, or 9 without adjusting the dividend. Students may also choose a distractor with too many or too few zeros, so have them estimate the quotient and check it by multiplication.

How do I assign and grade this divide-by-multiples-of-10 worksheet?

Wayground provides this worksheet as both a printable PDF and a digital quiz, with a complete answer key for all 20 questions. You can grade digital responses in Wayground, or scan students’ printable work with the Wayground for Teachers app to speed up grading.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the multi-digit division expressions and fill-in responses are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats.
