Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Dividing with a remainder

In the Max Maths Year 5 workbook, students are given the opportunity to practice division with remainders, an essential arithmetic skill. The first practice set requires students to complete a series of division questions and express their answers with remainders. These questions are presented in a vertical format, encouraging students to work step by step to subtract multiples of the divisor from the dividend until no further whole multiples can be taken away. The remainder is the amount left over that cannot be evenly divided by the divisor. This exercise helps to solidify their understanding of the division process and how to handle scenarios where the dividend does not divide evenly by the divisor.

The second set of exercises moves on to more division problems, with students required to show their working out as they divide larger numbers by single-digit divisors. Problems such as 136 divided by 3, 450 divided by 7, 997 divided by 6, and 862 divided by 9 are presented in a horizontal format, challenging students to use their division skills to find the quotient and the remainder where applicable. This section of the workbook is designed to strengthen the pupils' ability to perform division calculations and deal with remainders, thereby enhancing their numerical fluency and problem-solving capabilities.
