A remainder is an amount left over after division (happens when the first number does not divide exactly by the other).

The process of unitising and exchanging between place values is known as regrouping.

Divide a 2-digit number using short division (with regrouping and remainders)

Maths

In this unit pupils will divide a 2-digit and 3-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 future unit pupils will  use their knowledge of multiplication and division to solve comparison and change problems.

In the prior unit pupils interpreted a division story with a remainder and represented it with an equation. They explained how the remainder related to the divisor. In this unit pupils will divide a 2-digit and a 3-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations and divide a 2-digit number by a single-digit number by using short division.

Division by partitioning leading to short division (2 and 3-digits by 1-digit)
