Good morning, math adventurers! Today, we have an exciting challenge for you. Are you ready to go on a treasure hunt? In this lesson, we will be learning how to solve division problems that have remainders. But instead of just solving problems on paper, we will be using our math skills to search for hidden treasures around the classroom.
Before we begin our treasure hunt, let's review how to do division with remainders.
When we divide, we may have some numbers left over that do not fit evenly into our groups. These leftover numbers are called remainders.
For example:
To find the remainder, we subtract the quotient (the answer to the division problem without the remainder) multiplied by the divisor (the number we are dividing by) from the original dividend (the number we are dividing).
For example:
Now that we have reviewed the concept, let's get ready to go on our treasure hunt! Put on your math caps and let's go!
