Grouping is when we divide a number of objects into equal groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of objects in each group, but we do not know how many equal groups there are.

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend does not divide exactly by the divisor.

Division means splitting into equal parts or groups. ___ is divided into groups of ___

Represent division by grouping with multiplication and addition equations

Maths

In this unit pupils will interpret a division story with a remainder representing it with an equation. They will explain how the remainder relates to the divisor. In the future unit pupils will divide a 2-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations with exchanging and remainders. They will divide a 2-digit number by a single-digit number using short division .

In the prior unit pupils explained how each part of a multiplication and division equation related to a story. They partitioned one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations. In this unit pupils will interpret a division story with a remainder representing it with an equation. They will explain how the remainder relates to the divisor.

Use multiplication facts to answer division questions

The dividend is the whole amount to be divided into groups or divided into equal parts. It is what we are dividing.

The divisor is the number in each group or the number of equal parts that the whole is divided into or between. It is what we are dividing by.
