What Your Child Will Learn
Grade 5 division includes two-digit divisors, decimal dividends, and expressing remainders as decimals or fractions. Students develop fluency with the long division algorithm for larger numbers and learn to divide decimals by whole numbers.
Division is applied to unit rate problems (cost per item, speed per hour) and is connected to fraction concepts — division as creating a fraction (8 ÷ 3 = 8/3). Students estimate quotients using compatible numbers and check their work by multiplying.
Skills Covered
- Long division with two-digit divisors
- Dividing decimals by whole numbers
- Expressing remainders as fractions or decimals
- Calculating unit rates with division
- Estimating quotients with compatible numbers
- Connecting division to fraction notation
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): dividing multi-digit whole numbers and decimals, connecting division to fractions.
Parent Tip: Unit rates make great real-world practice: 'This pack of 8 costs $6.40 — how much per item?' Division suddenly has a purpose your child can relate to.

How is division connected to multiplication?
Division is the inverse of multiplication. If your child knows 6 × 4 = 24, they can figure out 24 ÷ 4 = 6. Strong multiplication fact fluency makes division much easier.
When does my child learn long division?
Long division is typically introduced in Grade 4 and refined through Grade 5-6. Start with single-digit divisors, then progress to two-digit divisors. Understanding place value is key.
How should my child handle remainders in division?
Remainders appear in Grade 4. Teach your child to express remainders as a whole number (R2), a fraction (2/5), or a decimal (0.4) depending on the context of the problem.
