Stretch: What Does the Remainder Mean?
I can solve multi-step division problems and interpret the remainder in context.
🧠 The Challenge

The same division can need different answers: sometimes you round up (need enough buses), sometimes you drop the remainder (full boxes only).
👀 Worked Example
100 students, 8 per van. 100 ÷ 8 = 12 R4. You need 13 vans (round up — the last 4 still need a ride).
✏️ Your Turn

1. 50 cookies, 6 per bag. How many FULL bags?
2. 30 kids, 4 per car. How many cars are NEEDED?
3. 100 ÷ 8 = 12 R4. The remainder 4 means…
💬 Explain Your Thinking
Explain how you decided what to do with the remainder:
"I divided blank ÷ blank = blank R blank. In this problem the remainder means blank, so I blank."
