In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 15, students learn to interpret and solve one-step division word problems using whole number quotients and remainders with larger divisors of 6, 7, 8, and 9. Using tape diagrams, students practice dividing multi-digit numbers and determining what the quotient and any remainder mean in real-world contexts. The lesson builds on prior division fluency to help fourth graders confidently work with divisors beyond the basic facts.
Section 1
Interpreting Remainders in Division Word Problems
To solve a division word problem with a remainder, we find the quotient (the number of equal groups) and the remainder (the amount left over). The relationship can be checked using the equation:
