In this activity, we will carry out some simple divisions by 3 with remainders.
Example
Calculate this division and find the remainder:
17 ÷ 3
Answer
We have to find out how many threes go into 17.
We can do this using a number line.
It goes 5 times and there is a remainder of 2.
5 x 3 = 15
17 - 15 = 2
Let's try some questions now.
