Activities to practise beyond the quiz

  • Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
  1. VC2M5N07-C01Division can count how many complete equal groups fit. In a complete-group context the leftover does not make another whole group.
  2. VC2M5N07-C02When every person or item needs a space, a nonzero remainder requires one extra container or vehicle.
  3. VC2M5N07-C03A remainder can be shared as a fraction when the material is divisible. Express the result with the unit and check by multiplication.
  4. VC2M5N07-C04Selecting a strategy or digital tool and communicating context-specific remainder interpretations.
