Grade 5 - Number
Standard 5.N.6 - Solve division word problems with remainders.
Included Skills: Division
Demonstrate, with and without concrete materials, an understanding of division (3-digit by 1-digit), and interpret remainders to solve problems. • Model the division process as equal sharing, using base ten blocks, and record it symbolically. • Explain that the interpretation of a remainder depends on the context: - ignore the remainder; e.g., making teams of 4 from 22 people. - round up the quotient; e.g., the number of five passenger cars required to transport 13 people. - express remainders as fractions; e.g., five apples shared by two people. - express remainders as decimals; e.g., measurement and money. • Solve a given division problem in context, using personal strategies, and record the process. • Refine personal strategies to increase their efficiency. • Create and solve a division problem, and record the process. • Solve a given problem using the standard/traditional division algorithm.
