TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Using long division with large numbers
What is long division?
Long division is a method of dividing one number by another in a systematic way. It's a step-by-step process that breaks down the division into smaller, more manageable steps. This method is typically introduced in primary school, in Year 5 and Year 6, and is an important foundational skill in mathematics.
What will you find in our long division worksheet?
Our long division worksheet is perfect for Year 6 children mastering the art of long division (without any pesky remainders!).
In mathematics, some sums will have an answer that requires a remainder – the amount left over when one number is divided by another and they don't divide evenly. But in this worksheet, we have avoided any questions like this in order to ease your child into long division and help them grasp the method first.
The sums in this worksheet focus on dividing 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. We provide an example first to help your child understand the process and apply their knowledge effectively.
You have the option of downloading the worksheet or using it interactively online, to suit your child's preferred practice. You can also progress to our Long division with remainders worksheet, to progress your child's skills.
