Division with Remainders - PowerPoint

In a set of teaching resources aimed at Year 3 pupils, students are introduced to the concept of division with remainders. The objective is to solve division problems where the numbers do not divide evenly, resulting in a remainder. For example, when dividing 15 by 2, the outcome is 7 with a remainder of 1, written as 15 ÷ 2 = 7 r1. The resources guide students through placing objects into equal groups and completing sentences to express the division calculation and its outcome, including the remainder. This method is applied to various scenarios with different numbers, such as dividing apples, bees, and cars.

The resources also explore different techniques to solve division problems with remainders, such as repeated subtraction and the use of place value counters. For instance, when dividing 28 by 3 using repeated subtraction, the result is 9 with a remainder of 1. Additionally, students are encouraged to answer questions and solve word problems that contextualize the division calculations. These exercises not only help students understand the division process but also how to articulate the results when a division does not result in a whole number. The resources include various worksheets and activities that cater to different learning styles and provide a comprehensive approach to understanding division with remainders.
