About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 8 word problems rewriting a remainder answer in the form the situation calls for.
This worksheet hands over a division answer written with a remainder - 12 r3 - and asks the student to rewrite it in the form the situation calls for. It is the harder half of choosing between forms: with no menu to work backwards from, the student has to convert the remainder as well as decide what to do with it. Boxes that must be full drop it, vans that must carry everyone round up, ribbon can be shared as a fraction and money written as a decimal. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Rewrite a remainder as a whole number, fraction or decimal.
- Decide which form the situation calls for.
- Convert a remainder into a fraction or a decimal.
Everyday practice
- Divide, then decide what to do with the leftover.
- Turn a remainder into a fraction of the divisor.
- Say why an answer needs cents rather than a remainder.
