This lesson is for practice in breaking down a number into even sets, with a quantity remaining that is not enough to make up a another set.

Skill level: Age 9+

1st Example Math Problem

20 ÷ 3 = 6, remainder 2

To begin, 20 students form a single group.

The students then try to divide themselves into 3 equal groups, and find that there are 6 students in each group, and 2 remaining without a whole group.

2nd Example

17 ÷ 5 = 3, remainder 2

To begin, 17 students form a single group.

The students then try to divide themselves into 5 equal groups, and find that there are 3 students in each group, and 2 remaining without a whole group.

These examples show how there can be a remainder when dividing evenly numbered groups.
