4. Ignore the Remainder Mrs. Bushell is organizing her recipes into a binder. Exactly 4 recipes fit on each page. She has 29 recipes.

The number of pages that will be filled. In order to answer the question, I need to DROP the remainder. Mrs. Bushell will fill 7 pages. 7 R 1

5. U se the Remainder. It’s your Answer! The students in Miss Joseph’s class are forming groups of 4 for a math game. There are 29 students in her class. How many students will be left after groups of 4 are formed? 29 ÷ 4 = 7 R 1 What does the 7 represent? The number of groups that are formed. What does the 1 represent? The number of students who will be left after the groups are formed. In order to answer the question, I need to USE the remainder. There will be 1 student left after groups are formed.

6. R ound Up Mrs. Pascarella is buying cupcakes for her class. The cupcakes come in boxes of 4. There are 29 students in her class. How many boxes of cupcakes does Mrs. Pascarella need to buy if she wants to give each student a cupcake? 29 ÷ 4 = 7 R 1 What does the 7 represent? At least 7 boxes of cupcakes will need to be ordered. What does the 1 represent? The number of students who would not get a cupcake if only 7 boxes of cupcakes are ordered. I need to ROUND UP so that everyone gets a cupcake. Instead of 7 boxes of cupcakes, she needs to order 8 boxes. 8 X 4 = 32, so 8 boxes will be enough cupcakes
