Lesson 1: RemaindersUnderstanding remainders
CCSS.Math:
Use arrays and practice problems to understand remainders.
Some division problems work out nicely.
Other division problems don't work out nicely.
Oh no! We can't split start color #01a995, 25, end color #01a995 circles into perfect groups of start color #aa87ff, 7, end color #aa87ff. We have some circles left over.
Key idea: We can use a remainder to describe what remains after dividing.

- No(just kidding)(11 votes)
- why are there remainders(26 votes)
- Because you can't always split quantities into equal sized groups. For example, you have 7 cookies to split between yourself and 2 friends. And, each person must get the same number of cookies. With 3 people, each person gets 2 cookies and you have 1 extra cookie. That's the remainder.(21 votes)
