Make Division Easier!

We have been working on division in our math class.

We use this sheet to help us figure out division questions.

Your first step is to break down the first number (the dividend) into place value. You circle your number of hundreds, your number of tens, and your number of ones.

You start making groups with the second number (the divisor). In this question, our divisor is 4, so we make groups of 4.

If you have something left that can't fit into a group, you cross it out and transfer it into the next place value group. In this question, there is 1 group of hundreds left. We moved it into the tens column.

Now we make equal groups of 4 in the tens column.

We have a group of tens that couldn't fit in a group, so we crossed it out and transferred it over to the ones column.

Now we make equal groups of 4 in the ones column. In this question we have 1 left over. That is our remainder.

Now count how many equal groups of 4 you circled in each column.

Our answer is 143, Remainder (R) 1.
