Study Notes
Understanding Remainders in Division Word Problems
- A remainder is a leftover amount that cannot be separated equally into one of the parts in a division problem.
- In a division problem, the remainder is the amount left over after dividing a group into equal parts.
Example: Sharing Pencils
- If you have 7 pencils and want to divide them equally among 2 friends, each friend would get 3 pencils, with 1 pencil remaining as a remainder.
Example: Sharing Cookies
- Amber baked 25 cookies and wants to share them equally among 4 friends.
- Each friend would get 6 cookies, with 1 cookie remaining as a remainder.
Example: Field Trip to the Zoo
- 52 students are going on a field trip to the zoo, and each bus can carry 7 students.
- 52 divided by 7 is 7 remainder 3, so 7 buses would be needed, but 3 students would be left behind.
- To ensure each student has a seat, the remainder of 3 needs to be rounded up, so 8 buses are needed in total.
