Sample Activity: Division with Remainders

• Give students a dividend that will have a remainder when divided by five.
• Have them find and stand on the dividend on the mat.
• Have them jump and count the number of spaces it takes to reach the next lowest multiple of five. The number of spaces is the remainder number.
• Have them hold it up on their fingers.
• Then, have them follow the procedure for dividing while keeping the initial “remainder” number on their fingers.

Example: Give them the number 32. They will find and stand on 30 and take two jumps to land on 30. Holding 2 on their fingers, they then jump the multiples to zero, counting how many jumps it takes out loud. When they get to zero, they recite, “Thirty-two divided by five is six remainder two.”
