Children in the UK are typically introduced to long division in Year 6, which corresponds to ages 10-11.
While the exact timing can vary slightly depending on the school and the child's individual progress, Year 6 is the standard year for introducing this mathematical concept. The curriculum often builds on previously learned skills such as chunking and short division to make the transition to long division smoother. Mastering these earlier techniques is crucial for a good understanding of long division.
