Sharing, grouping and remainders worksheet: Answers and working

1. 6
Ring them 4 at a time, then count how many bags you have ringed.
Grouping: 4 a bag, 24 ÷ 4 = 6, so 6 bags.
2. 4
Sharing among 5 plates is 20 ÷ 5. Think: what do you multiply 5 by to get 20?
Shared equally: 20 ÷ 5 = 4, 4 on each plate.
3. 3
Sharing among 2 plates is 6 ÷ 2. Think: what do you multiply 2 by to get 6?
Shared equally: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, 3 on each plate.
4. 5
Ring them 5 at a time, then count how many bags you have ringed.
Grouping: 5 a bag, 25 ÷ 5 = 5, so 5 bags.
5. 3, 2
Ring them 5 at a time and count the full groups; any left that don't make 5 are the leftover.
Each row of 5 is a group: 3 full rows, and the last has only 2, too few: 17 ÷ 5 = 3 r 2.
6. 4, 4
Ring them 6 at a time and count the full groups; any left that don't make 6 are the leftover.
Each row of 6 is a group: 4 full rows, and the last has only 4, too few: 28 ÷ 6 = 4 r 4.
7. 7, 6
Go through the 9 times table: find the biggest one not past 69, then see how far short of 69 it is.
9 × 7 = 63, and one more 9 goes past 69; 69 − 63 = 6.
8. 2, 7
Go through the 9 times table: find the biggest one not past 25, then see how far short of 25 it is.
9 × 2 = 18, and one more 9 goes past 25; 25 − 18 = 7.

9. C
Check two things in each picture: are there 4 groups, and are they equal, making 8 in all?
It needs 4 equal groups making 8 in all: 2 in each.
10. A
Check two things in each picture: are there 2 groups, and are they equal, making 8 in all?
It needs 2 equal groups making 8 in all: 4 in each.
11. False
First check the 9 left over: is it fewer than 9? Then work out how many 4 groups use.
The leftover must be fewer than 9, or another group can be made: 45 ÷ 9 = 5 r 0.
12. True
First check the 1 left over: is it fewer than 3? Then work out how many 7 groups use.
The leftover must be fewer than 3, or another group can be made: 22 ÷ 3 = 7 r 1.

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.

13. 2 sweets
Sharing among 2 friends is 4 ÷ 2. What do you multiply 2 by to get 4?
Shared equally: 4 ÷ 2 = 2.
14. 6 mangoes
6 people with 5 each means 6 × 5 = 30. Now the number of people has swapped places.
6 × 5 = 30, so 30 ÷ 5 = 6.
15. 9 boxes
8 to a box: find how many lots of 8 there are in 72.
8 to a group: 72 ÷ 8 = 9.
16. 5, 3
8 to a bundle: find how many lots of 8 fit in 43; any too few for a bundle are left over.
43 ÷ 8 = 5 r 3.
17. 7, 3
8 to a bundle: find how many lots of 8 fit in 59; any too few for a bundle are left over.
59 ÷ 8 = 7 r 3.
18. 6 sweets
Sharing among 4 friends is 24 ÷ 4. What do you multiply 4 by to get 24?
Shared equally: 24 ÷ 4 = 6.
