The ideas in this division lesson are taken from Division 1 ebook. Only a few examples of each problem type are shown; you should make more problems of each kind for the student.

If you divide 13 bananas evenly between Joe and Sally, how much does each one get?

13 ÷ 2 = ?

We say that Joe and Sally both get 6 bananas and one is left over. The leftover banana is called the remainder. Or, if we don't want leftovers or remainders, both would get 6 1/2 bananas.

13 ÷ 2 = 6, remainder 1.

14 bananas divided between 3 people
gives 4 bananas to each and 2 bananas
that cannot be divided.

14 ÷ 3 = 4,
remainder 2

8 scissors divided between 5 people
gives 1 scissors to each and 3 scissors
that cannot be divided.

8 ÷ 5= 1,
remainder 3

Example problems

1. Divide the dots so that groups have the same amount of dots and write a division sentence.

Divide evenly into
3 groups

20 ÷ 3 = __,
remainder __

Divide evenly into
4 groups

21 ÷ 4 = __,
remainder __

Divide evenly into
6 groups

__ ÷ 6 = __,
remainder __

2. Divide and indicate the remainders. You can draw pictures! Discuss with your teacher the patterns you notice.

21 ÷ 2 = __, R __
22 ÷ 2 = __, R __
23 ÷ 2 = __, R __
24 ÷ 2 = __, R __
25 ÷ 2 = __, R __
26 ÷ 2 = __, R __
27 ÷ 2 = __, R __
28 ÷ 2 = __, R __
29 ÷ 2 = __, R __
30 ÷ 2 = __, R __

21 ÷ 4 = __, R __
22 ÷ 4 = __, R __
23 ÷ 4 = __, R __
24 ÷ 4 = __, R __
25 ÷ 4 = __, R __
26 ÷ 4 = __, R __
27 ÷ 4 = __, R __
28 ÷ 4 = __, R __
29 ÷ 4 = __, R __
30 ÷ 4 = __, R __

3. What is the method to find the remainder? Discuss with your teacher. Practice some more!

7 ÷ 2 = __, R __

9 ÷ 2 = __, R __

8 ÷ 3 = __, R __

13 ÷ 4 = __, R __

3 ÷ 4 = __, R __

1 ÷ 2 = __, R __

13 ÷ 2 = __, R __

27 ÷ 2 = __, R __

7 ÷ 6 = __, R __

27 ÷ 5 = __, R __

23 ÷ 3 = __, R __

17 ÷ 6 = __, R __

50 ÷ 6 = __, R __

34 ÷ 5 = __, R __

Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc.
"Be My Baby" originally by the Ronettes	Impossible Dream (Elvis song)
Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that! => See more video clips at YouTube
