Questions about Division Word Problems
What does the Division Word Problems worksheet cover?
It practices interpreting a remainder in context — 6 questions for Grade 5, all on Common Core 5.NBT.B.6: Divide by two-digit numbers. The instruction to students is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Does Division Word Problems come with an answer key?
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
