Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Division leaving a remainder

In the Max Maths Year 3 practice section on division with remainders, young learners tackle real-world scenarios that involve dividing quantities and dealing with leftovers. For instance, Tya is organising her books onto shelves, with each shelf holding 3 books. Given her collection of 28 books, the students must calculate the number of shelves she will fully fill, as well as determine how many books won't fit on a shelf, hence remaining unshelved. This practical application helps children grasp the concept of division and remainders in a tangible way.

Further exercises present similar situations, such as Toby sorting his toy cars into boxes, with each box accommodating 6 cars. With a total of 57 cars, students must work out the number of completely filled boxes and the leftover cars. Similarly, Han's case of 83 oranges, which are to be packed into bags holding 9 oranges each, prompts students to calculate both the number of full bags and the remaining oranges. Additional straightforward division problems are provided for practice, requiring students to find the quotient and remainder. These exercises are designed to reinforce the understanding of division with remainders, a fundamental mathematical skill at this stage of learning.
