💛 Interpreting Remainders Practice Day 85

Interpreting Remainders Practice

Introduction

In our last lesson, we review what happens when there is a remainder.  Today, we are going to look at different contexts in which remainders occur.  In these situations, we do not just mark them as r.  We think of the situation and have to decide what to do with the leftovers or the remainder. The chart below helps to think about what would happen to the remainder in a problem solving situation. When it comes to remainders, we can use it- that means use the remainders as the answer, ignore it which means to just think about the quotient, or increase the quotient which means we can add one to our quotient.  Examples of these situations are on the anchor chart below.  Recreate the anchor chart in your math journal and use it to complete the Jamboard sort.
