Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Long division explained

Long division explained
Long division is used to divide a large number by a two- (or more) digit number. It is set out in a similar way to short division. We've started off some calculations. Can you can continue each one on your own?

Keystage:  KS2, Year 5

 

When do children learn about long division?

Long division is usually introduced in KS2 (Year 3 to 6).  It is often taught in Year 5 or 6, when children are 9 to 11 years old. However, the timing may vary slightly depending on the school and the curriculum that they follow. 

Some children struggle with long division because the numbers are bigger and there is a multistep process. With this in mind, it is important to practise with your child at home and build their confidence. 

 

How will this long division KS2 worksheet help? 

Our long division KS2 worksheet has been created and checked by teachers, and is presented in a colourful and fun layout. Long division is explained in accessible terms with a helpful demonstration. Your child will then be asked to complete some long division equations on their own, with the answers provided along the side of the page.
