Model Division with Remainders

Essential Question How can you use counters to model division with remainders?

UNLOCK the Prolem

Madison has 13 seeds. She wants to put the same number of seeds in each of 3 pots. How many seeds can Madison put into each pot? How many seeds are left over?

Activity Materials \(\blacksquare\) counters

Use counters to find 13 ÷ 3.

  • Question 1 (request help)

    STEP 1

    Use 13 counters. Draw 3 circles for the 3 pots.
  • Question 2 (request help)

    STEP 2

    Place one counter in each group until there are not enough to put 1 more in each of the groups.
  • There are     counters in each circle.
    There is     counter left over.

So, Madison can put 4 seeds in each pot.
There is 1 seed left over.

After dividing a group of objects into equal groups as large as possible, there may be some left over. The amount left over is called the remainder.

  • Question 3 (request help)

    Try This! What if Madison wants to put 4 seeds in each pot. How many pots will Madison need? How many seeds will be left over?
  • There are     counters in each group, and
    		    counter left over.
