Use mental strategies and informal recording methods for division with remainders
Outcomes
-
Model division, including where the answer involves a remainder, using concrete materials
Examples
-
Use mental strategies to divide a two-digit number by a one-digit number in problems for which answers include a remainder, eg 27 / 6: if 4 x 6 = 24 and 5 x 6 = 30, the answer is 4 remainder 3
Examples
-
Interpret the remainder in the context of a word problem, eg 'If a car can safely hold 5 people, how many cars are needed to carry 41 people?'; the answer of 8 remainder 1 means that 9 cars will be needed
