Learning steps & teaching tips
Find a whole-number quotient and remainder and verify both.
- Make equal groups. The remainder must be smaller than the divisor; explain what leftover items mean in the story.
- Work through the example. Explain how its evidence supports the answer.
- Try a new question; use the explanation to check your thinking.
Try it together
Try a question with a partner. Before choosing, explain your idea; after choosing, compare it with the explanation.
