▸ What to do
Divide the numbers and write the answer in the box. Multiply the divisor by the quotient and add any remainder to recover the dividend. R means remainder. First question, checked from the printed data: 126 ÷ 3 = 42; 3 × 42 = 126.
▸ Start with an example
Since this is the third worksheet in the series, your child should already be comfortable with the two-step process from worksheets 01 and 02 — this one simply adds a digit. Encourage them to start from the leftmost digit of the 3-digit number and work rightward one place at a time, the same way they would with a shorter number. If a problem like 348÷6 feels intimidating at first glance, remind them to break it down: divide the hundreds, bring down the next digit, and keep going. Reading the problem aloud before starting can also help them plan their steps.
▸ If it is difficult
If your child freezes partway through, have them write out each step of long division on paper rather than trying to do it all in their head — the extra digit makes mental math much harder to track. Common mistakes at this stage include forgetting to bring down the next digit or misplacing a digit in the quotient, so a quick check after each step catches errors early. It's also fine to let them estimate first (for example, guessing that 259÷7 is a little over 30) before working out the exact answer, since estimation builds number sense alongside the mechanical steps.
▸ Check before continuing
Division Practice 3 - 3-Digit Divided by 1-Digit — Check the completed work using this instruction: Multiply the divisor by the quotient and add any remainder to recover the dividend. R means remainder. Point to one correction and explain the step used. Revisit that part if the explanation and the marks do not agree.
🎯What This Worksheet Builds
This worksheet extends division practice from 2-digit to 3-digit dividends divided by a single-digit number, giving children ten problems that all divide evenly into two-digit quotients such as 126÷3=42 and 342÷9=38.
👉Next Step
Once your child handles these ten problems confidently, try 3-digit by 1-digit division problems that leave a remainder, since interpreting a leftover amount is the next real challenge after mastering even division. Alternatively, move on to dividing by 2-digit divisors, which combines everything practiced here with an added layer of estimation. Either path builds naturally on the skills strengthened in this worksheet.
