Handling Remainders in Division

The video tutorial explains how to handle remainders in division word problems. It presents three options: rounding up, ignoring, or sharing the remainder. Each option is illustrated with examples, emphasizing the importance of making choices that make sense in real-life scenarios. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the strategies discussed.

What are the three strategies for handling remainders in division word problems?

• Ignoring, multiplying, and adding

• Rounding up, ignoring, and sharing

• Multiplying, subtracting, and adding

• Dividing, multiplying, and subtracting

In the example of students going to a museum, why is it necessary to round up the remainder?

• To make the division easier

• To ensure no student is left behind

• Because the museum requires it

• Because the cars are too small

When is it appropriate to ignore the remainder in a division problem?

• When the remainder can be easily shared

• When the remainder cannot be easily shared

• When the quotient is an even number

• When the remainder is too small

In the lollipop example, how many lollipops does each friend get?

• 6 lollipops

• 4 lollipops

• 5 lollipops

• 3 lollipops

Why is sharing the remainder a suitable strategy in the cookie example?

• Because cookies are round

• Because there are too many cookies

• Because cookies are expensive

• Because cookies are easy to divide

What is the result when Sarah and Elizabeth share 7 cookies?

• Each gets 4 cookies

• Each gets 3 cookies

• Each gets 3.5 cookies

• Each gets 2.5 cookies

Which strategy is often used with food, money, and measurement?

• Ignoring

• Multiplying

• Sharing

• Rounding up

What should you consider when choosing how to handle a remainder?

• The type of division

• The number of people involved

• The context of the problem

• The size of the remainder

In which scenario would rounding up not be appropriate?

• When dividing people into groups

• When the remainder can be shared

• When the remainder is zero

• When the quotient is a whole number

What is the key factor in deciding whether to share a remainder?

• The type of items being divided

• The number of groups

• The ease of sharing the remainder

• The size of the remainder
