Exploring Division with Remainders

Miss Catlett explains division with remainders using examples of pennies and gum. She demonstrates three methods: using manipulatives, repeated subtraction, and multiplication facts. Each method is applied to solve division problems with remainders, emphasizing understanding through practical examples.

What is a remainder in division?

• The number of times a divisor fits into the dividend.

• The amount left over after division.

• The product of the divisor and the quotient.

• The sum of the dividend and the divisor.

• 6 pieces with 1 penny left over

• 5 pieces with 3 pennies left over

• 5 pieces with 2 pennies left over

• 4 pieces with 3 pennies left over

What is the first step in the repeated subtraction method?

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend repeatedly.

• Multiply the divisor by the quotient.

• Divide the dividend by the divisor.
