Interpreting Remainders in Division
Stephanie Sharrer
Let’s Look Back…Solve the problem
Label the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder.
Try to determine what would happen to the remainder in this problem.
The 7 fifth grade teachers decided to give their students a pizza party on the last day of school to celebrate their
graduation. The teachers ordered 52 pizzas to split evenly among their classes. How much pizza will each
teacher receive for their class?

Share your solution, labels, and interpretation of what the remainder means in this problem with your shoulder partner.
Who would like to share their solution with the class?
Let’s Discuss
Stephanie Sharrer
As I read aloud A Remainder of One, work through each problem presented in your notebook.
Read Aloud
Stephanie Sharrer
Think-Pair-ShareTry to come up with at
least 1 thing we could do with the remainder
in a problem.
Stephanie Sharrer
Drop the remainder (Drop It)Add 1 to the quotient (Add It)Use the remainder as the
answer (Use It)Keep the remainder and write
it as a fraction or a decimal (Keep It)
Methods of Interpreting
the Remainder
Stephanie Sharrer
Let’s Take aSusan and Brianna baked 274
cupcakes. They brought the cupcakes to school for their
friends in cupcake trays. If each tray holds 4 cupcakes, how many cupcake trays will they need to
bring all the cupcakes to school?
Stephanie Sharrer
Let’s Take a What operation are we using? How do
you know?
What is the dividend?
What is the divisor?
Division because we are sharing
274 (total number of cupcakes)
4 (number of cupcakes held in each tray)

Stephanie Sharrer
Let’s Take a What does the quotient (68) mean?
What does the remainder (2) mean?
If I want to know how many trays Susan and Brianna will need to take ALL of the cupcakes to school, what will I do with the remainder?
So how many trays will Susan and Brianna need?
68 trays with 4 cupcakes each
2 cupcakes not in trays
Add It! (add 1 more tray so that the 2 remaining cupcakes will also be packed for school)
68 + 1 more = 69 trays
Let’s Change It Up a LittleSusan and Brianna baked 274 cupcakes.
They brought the cupcakes to school for their friends in cupcake trays. If each tray holds
4 cupcakes, how many cupcake trays will they need to bring all the cupcakes to school?
How many cupcakes will be in the partially full tray?
T-P-S: What are we looking for now? What
are we going to do with the remainder to find
the answer?
USE IT…So there are 2 cupcakes in the
partially full trayStephanie Sharrer
Another ExampleSusan and Brianna baked 274
cupcakes. They brought the cupcakes to school for their friends in cupcake trays. If
each tray holds 4 cupcakes, how many cupcake trays will they need to bring all the cupcakes to school?
How many full trays of cupcakes will Susan and Brianna have?
68 trays had 4 cupcakes each and 1 tray had the 2 leftover cupcakes So how many FULL trays will there be?
Stephanie SharrerDROP IT…there are 68 full trays
One More TimeSusan and Brianna baked 274 cupcakes.
They brought the cupcakes to school for their friends in cupcake trays. If each tray holds
4 cupcakes, how many cupcake trays will they need to bring all the cupcakes to school?
If Susan and Brianna are splitting the cupcakes between 4 classes, how many cupcakes will each teacher get?
Stephanie Sharrer
One More TimeWhat operation are we using? How do
you know?
What is the dividend?
What is the divisor?
Division because we are sharing
274 (total number of cupcakes)
4 (number of classes the cupcakes are being split between)

remainderStephanie Sharrer
One More TimeWhat does the quotient (68) mean?
What does the remainder (2) mean?
What is going to be done with the 2 left over cupcakes?
So how many trays will each class get?
68 full cupcakes for each teacher
2 cupcakes left over
They will be cut and split between the classes
68 2/4 cupcakes, or 68 ½ cupcakes (the remainder is used as a fraction over the divisor)
Stephanie Sharrer
Let’s ReviewAnd go over some key words and
differences between methods
Stephanie Sharrer
Drop It!Ignore the remainder and only use
the quotient as your answer.
Use this when the question asks for FULL or WHOLE items or when the item cannot easily be split in
real life.
Share It!Include the remainder in your
answer as a fraction or a decimal.
Use this with money, food, or measurements that are easy to
split in real life.
Add It!Take the quotient and add 1 more.
Use this when everything or everyone has to fit and you can’t
leave anything out.
Use It!Use the remainder (and not the
quotient) as your answer.
Use this when the question asks how much is left over or left out or
partially filled.Stephanie Sharrer
Group Work TimeNow it’s time for you to practice!
Stephanie Sharrer
DirectionsWork in your group to solve word problemsUse the 4 ways to interpret remainders-Drop It, Keep It,
Add It, Use It-in your discussions with your group members
Complete 2 word problems and your checklist at each stationThe checklist tells you what needs to be done for
each word problem and also asks you to explain how you knew which method of interpreting the remainder to choose for each question.
Now each of you need to take your math notebook, a pencil, and checklist with you to the group number station.

On Your OwnNow it is time to show what you have learned.Solve the multi-step problem provided in your
math notebook.
When you have completed ALL parts of the question, raise your hand and I will check your work.
Once your work has been checked, write a reflection on what you learned using The Most Important Thing About template.

full teams can be made?
