Division with remainder — Maths worksheet

The method

Biggest fit, then leftover — “find the biggest table answer that fits; what is left over is the remainder”

1. Find the biggest number in the table that is not more than the total: that gives the quotient.
2. Remainder = total − (quotient × divisor).
3. The remainder must be smaller than the divisor.
4. If everyone must fit (boats, autos), use one more than the full groups when there is a remainder.

Use it for: Packing mangoes in bags, rows of children, boats for a trip, and the division chapter of Class 3 maths.

Worked example: What is the remainder when 29 is divided by 4? → 1
