Grade 5 - Number
Standard 5.N.3 - Solve division word problems with remainders.
Included Skills: Division
Demonstrate, with and without concrete materials, an understanding of division (3-digit by 1-digit) and interpret remainders to solve problems. • Identify situations in one's life, family, or community in which division might be used and explain the reasoning. • Model the division process as equal sharing or equal grouping using various models and record the resulting process symbolically. • Explain concretely, pictorially, or orally why division by zero is not possible or undefined (e.g., 8 ÷ 0 is undefined or not possible to determine). • Generalize, relate, and apply concrete, pictorial, and symbolic strategies for dividing 3-digit whole numbers by 1-digit whole numbers. • Justify the choice of what to do with a remainder for a quotient depending upon the situation: - disregard the remainder (e.g., dividing 22 books among 4 students) - round up the quotient (e.g., the number of five passenger cars required to transport 13 people) - express remainders as fractions (e.g., five apples shared by two people) - express remainders as decimals (e.g., measurement and money). • Solve a division problem that is relevant to self, family, or community using personal strategies and record the process symbolically. • Recall the division facts to a dividend of 81 including in problem-solving situations.
