Try a sample

What is 1235 ÷ 4, written with a remainder?

  1. 307 remainder 3
  2. 308 remainder 4
  3. 309 remainder 3
  4. 308 remainder 3
See the answer & why

308 remainder 3

4 × 308 + 3 = 1235. The remainder 3 is smaller than 4.

A little hint: Find the largest whole number of equal groups that fits. The amount left is the remainder.

A teaching tip

Make equal groups. The remainder must be smaller than the divisor; explain what leftover items mean in the story.
