Division
Remainders are the whole point: a remainder is a number, a fraction, or a reason to round up, depending on the story. Students divide up to 4-digit by 1-digit with and without remainders, interpret the remainder, and draw part–whole and grouping bar models.

Students can
divide up to 4-digit ÷ 1-digit, with and without remainders; interpret the remainder; draw part–whole and grouping bar models.
Ready when
three stories with the same 23 ÷ 4, three different written answers (5 R 3; ; 6 groups).
Watch for
“7 buses for 36 children, 5 per bus” answered 7 R 1 instead of 8 buses.
