What we learned today...
We learned about interpreting the remainder in a division problem. Many times we divide and have a remainder and have no idea what it represents. It is important for us to understand if the remainder needs to be represented as a fraction, ignored or if the quotient needs to be rounded up because of the what the question is asking us. We will visit more about this tomorrow.
