These 20 problems build skill with the standard long division algorithm: two- and three-digit divisors, zeros in the quotient, estimating, remainders, and checking with multiplication.
The last six problems are multi-step word problems about shipping, travel and seating. They train standard 6.NS.B.2.
Standards: 6.NS.B.2 · Level: Grade 6
