Interpret the Remainder
Objective
• To interpret quotients and remainders in division problems.
• Why? To understand you need to involve the remainder in solving some problems. It’s not “just the left-over.”
California State Standards MR 2.5: Express the solution clearly and logically by
using the appropriate mathematical notation…MR 2.2: Apply strategies and results from simpler
problems to more complex problems.
Vocabulary• Quotient– The answer from division• 2 is the quotient 8 is the divisor 16 is the dividend

How to Interpret the Remainder1) Read the problem and
comprehend what the question is asking
2) Divide the problem3) Whatever the quotient
is add 1 more number to the answer

Try Some More!1) There are 26 students in
a class, plus a teacher. The teacher wants one parent to accompany each group of 4 students. The teacher will go with the remaining students. How many chaperones will the teacher need?
2) What does the remainder represent/mean?
3) How many groups will see the show?
1) r 2
The teacher will need 6 chaperones.
2) The remainder represents …
The number of students the teacher will have in her group.
3) There will be 7 groups.
