Key idea

Plan each operation, then interpret a remainder in the context of the question.

Sample problems

  1. 3 boxes hold 8 pencils each. Add 5 loose pencils. How many pencils are there?
  2. 29 students need vans with 6 seats each. How many vans carry EVERY student?
  3. 29 cards are packed 6 per completely FULL packet. How many full packets can be made?
  4. A club buys 4 packs of 12 tokens. It gives away 9 tokens. How many remain?

Common mistakes to watch for

  • A student adds 3 + 8 + 5 and ignores the eight pencils in each box.
  • Name the quantities and units before choosing an operation.
  • A claim needs an explanation or a counterexample, not just an answer.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.

How to use this set

  1. Teach with the slides (about 15 minutes): a warm-up, the big ideas, a “spot the slip” challenge, Mr DJ’s worked example, and a pick-your-pepper round on whiteboards. Or watch the video together.
  2. Practice with the worksheet. Everyone does Mild and Medium, then climbs to Spicy and Extra Spicy.
  3. Check understanding with the exit ticket, and send the homework home.
  4. Mark with the answer key — each answer shows the steps and the most likely mistake. The slides’ teacher notes are in the key too.
