Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Division with remainders (Place value counters) - Presentation

In a series of engaging and interactive slides, students delve into the concept of division with remainders, using place value counters as a visual aid to enhance their understanding. The lesson encourages learners to explore why division calculations may result in remainders and provides a step-by-step approach to short division with these remainders. Through various activities, students are presented with division problems such as 6,613 ÷ 5, 2,471 ÷ 3, and 9,363 ÷ 4, where they apply the method of division with place value counters to find the quotient and the remainder. This hands-on approach helps to solidify the learners' grasp of division and the significance of remainders in practical scenarios.

Additionally, the lesson incorporates real-world applications of division with remainders, such as calculating the number of trays needed for 5,366 doughnuts, where each tray holds six doughnuts. Students work through problems that require them to round remainders up or down, depending on the context, and to determine the number of full trays at the end of the day. They also tackle reasoning challenges that involve finding a three-digit number based on given remainders from division by different numbers. The lesson concludes with independent work, where students use their knowledge of short division to solve problems and discuss the implications of remainders in various contexts, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
