Maths

LO: Dividing with remainders as fractions

  • Open the document at the bottom of the blog page. Follow the instructions and then complete either the ‘Mild’ or ‘Hot’ worksheet.
  • Remember, move on to the investigation if you are confident, and complete the ‘A bit stuck’ page if you’re finding it tricky.
  • Remember, when we have a remainder, we can convert it to a fraction by using it as a remainder, with the divisor (the number you divided by) becoming the numerator.
    • Example: 19 ÷ 3 = 6r1, or 6 1/3
