Sharing is when a whole amount is split into equal parts or groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of parts it is split into, but we don't know how many are in each part.

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.

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

Solve division problems involving sharing, including those with remainders

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.
