Division with Remainders Homework for 1st Grade

By Jessica B.

A short homework packet from a Grade 1 math module that introduces division by sharing objects into equal groups and noticing leftover remainders. Students solve sharing problems with counters or drawings, then check their answers using multiplication and addition, building early division and fact-fluency skills.

Teacher Guide & Tips

Use this as independent homework after a classroom lesson where students have already shared counters into equal groups, so they can connect the paper problems to hands-on work.
Discussion question: When we share 10 into 2 groups, why is there no remainder, but when we share 11 into 2 groups, what is left over?
Scaffold for struggling readers: Read the directions aloud together, and let students use physical counters or draw circles for each group before writing the number.
Extension for advanced students: Ask them to find another way to share 12 (for example, into 3 groups) and explain how the check with multiplication still works.
Estimated time: About 15 to 20 minutes for the full homework set.
