Free 3rd Grade Division With Remainders Worksheets

Use this page when you want 3rd grade division with remainders worksheets in the next thirty seconds: choose how many problems you want, press print, and the answer key comes out on its own page behind the worksheet. You will see items like 19 ÷ 6 and 38 ÷ 5 on the printed page, with 3 R 1 and 7 R 3 waiting on the answer key so nobody has to redo the arithmetic.

📄 3RD GRADE DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS WORKSHEETS — A NEW SHEET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON
🎲 New set of problems

‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.

The skill behind these problems

Checking is easy and almost nobody does it: multiply the answer back. If 7 R 3 times the divisor does not return the original number, something is wrong.

There are two everyday meanings of division: sharing between groups, and measuring how many groups fit. A child who only holds the first is stumped when 106 ÷ 9 is phrased the second way.

Division is multiplication read backwards, and a child who is fluent with the tables sees 19 ÷ 6 and produces 3 R 1 directly. A child who is not fluent has to search, and the search is what makes division feel slow and unpleasant.

Because each sheet is new, the child cannot rely on having seen a particular quotient before.

Work of this kind is commonly aligned with the division expectations for this grade; schools outside the US meet the same skill at roughly the same age, which is why these 3rd grade division with remainders worksheets travel well.

Examples taken from this worksheet

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (divisors 3 to 9 with remainders).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
119 ÷ 6 =3 R 1Watch for: reversing the two numbers
238 ÷ 5 =7 R 3Check: dropping the remainder
3106 ÷ 9 =11 R 7Look at: guessing the quotient and not adjusting
465 ÷ 6 =10 R 5Ask about: searching the tables one by one
565 ÷ 9 =7 R 2Watch for: writing the remainder as a decimal by accident
616 ÷ 3 =5 R 1Check: losing zeros in the quotient

Start with one worked example

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 19 ÷ 6. Work 19 ÷ 6 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 3 R 1 on the key before moving on.

Work 65 ÷ 6 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 10 R 5. Children who hear 65 ÷ 6 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.

Where children usually slip up

Using this sheet as a daily drill

  1. Read the first two problems out loud together before starting the clock. It costs fifteen seconds and removes most of the 'I did not understand the question' errors.
  2. Do not raise the number of problems until the accuracy is steady. Going from 20 correct-but-slow problems to more problems only multiplies the same mistake.
  3. If two days in a row come out under 10 minutes with everything correct, that is the signal to move up: either numbers bigger than 19 ÷ 6 uses, or the next skill in the sequence.
  4. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 19 ÷ 6 gives 3 R 1 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  5. Keep the session to about 10 minutes. A 3rd grader who is still counting on fingers will need longer than that on a line like 19 ÷ 6, and that is fine: the timer is a measurement, never a punishment.

Marking the sheet

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 19 ÷ 6 is listed as 3 R 1, 38 ÷ 5 as 7 R 3, and so on down the page.

Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 38 ÷ 5 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.

Printing on US Letter or A4

For a class set, print one sheet, press the new-worksheet button and print again. Each child gets different numbers on the same skill, so nobody can copy the answer to 19 ÷ 6 from a neighbour.

Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make division faster?
Improve the times tables. Division speed is almost entirely a function of multiplication recall, which is why the table pages are linked below.
Should remainders be written as R, as fractions or as decimals?
Follow the school's convention. This sheet uses the R form because it is the one used when division is first taught.
Will these print correctly on A4?
Yes. These 3rd grade division with remainders worksheets fit both A4 and US Letter without clipping, as long as print scaling is left at 100% and browser headers and footers are switched off.
Is the answer key included?
Yes, on its own page behind the worksheet. For the sheet loaded right now it shows 3 R 1 for 19 ÷ 6 and 7 R 3 for 38 ÷ 5.

One sheet of 3rd grade division with remainders worksheets a day for two weeks will tell you more about where a 3rd grader actually stands than any single long assessment.
