Learning Scenario: Cookie Sharing Party

The Challenge:

You have 17 cookies and want to share them equally among 4 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? Are there any cookies left over?

Cookie Sharing Challenge

Division Solution:

17 ÷ 4 = 4 remainder 1
Each friend gets 4 cookies
1 cookie is left over
Check: 4 × 4 + 1 = 17 ✓

Division with Remainders Guide

What is a Remainder?

Leftover amount

What's left after dividing equally

Always less than divisor

Remainder must be smaller than what you're dividing by

Written as "R"

17 ÷ 4 = 4 R1 (4 remainder 1)

Sharing Examples:

15 ÷ 4 = 3 R3

3 each, 3 left over

20 ÷ 6 = 3 R2

3 each, 2 left over

25 ÷ 7 = 3 R4

3 each, 4 left over

Multiply answer by divisor, add remainder

Practice Examples

Cookie Sharing:

17 cookies ÷ 4 friends: 4 each, 1 left

23 stickers ÷ 5 kids: 4 each, 3 left

19 pencils ÷ 3 boxes: 6 each, 1 left

28 marbles ÷ 6 bags: 4 each, 4 left

Division Practice:

14 ÷ 3 = 4 R2 (4 × 3 + 2 = 14)

18 ÷ 5 = 3 R3 (3 × 5 + 3 = 18)

22 ÷ 4 = 5 R2 (5 × 4 + 2 = 22)

27 ÷ 6 = 4 R3 (4 × 6 + 3 = 27)
