Section 1 / 3

WHAT IS A REMAINDER?

When items cannot be shared equally, some are left over - that is the remainder. For 13 ÷ 4: each group gets 3 (4 x 3 = 12), and 1 is left over. We write 13 ÷ 4 = 3 remainder 1.

13 / 4

14 x 3 = 12 (biggest multiple under 13)

213 − 12 = 1 left over

313 / 4 = 3 remainder 1

= 3 r1

LEADER TIP

Use real sharing scenarios: 13 sweets for 4 children - who gets the extras? This makes remainders meaningful.
