Paper and Pencil
• 
Ask students if, for each of the folllowing, they would: ignore the 
quotient, round up the quotient, or express it as a fraction or decimal:
(i) William has 185 hockey cards that he wants to share equally
among his three friends. How many cards will each person
receive?
(ii) Mrs. Peabody has nine Swiss chocolate bars to share equally
among her four nephews. How much chocolate will each
nephew receive?
(iii) Ian can transport three passengers at a time in his canoe. How
many trips would it take him to transport 35 people across a
river?
Students should justify each choice.

• 
Ask students to create three problems: one each where the best way 
to treat the remainders is to: 
(i) ignore the remainder (ii) express the remainder as a fraction
(iii) round up the quotient

• 
Ask students to use base ten materials to solve 320 ÷ 8. Then ask: 
How could you then use this answer to solve 3 200 ÷ 8?
(5N6.2)
• 
Ask students: Meredith cut a 42 m bolt of cloth into five equal 
lengths. How long is each piece? Give your answer as a decimal

Ask students to discuss the following scenario:
Anna solved the following problem: There were 367 fans going to 
a hockey game. Each SUV can carry 7 fans. How many SUVs are 
needed? Her answer was 367 ÷ 7 = 52 R3. 
What does the remainder 3 represent? Anna’s final answer was 53.
Explain.
