Description

Narration

1

A picture of an astronaut in space is on screen the division problem the narrator is talking about is shown. The problems appear on screen as the narrator says them.

HERE'S A NEW KIND OF DIVISION PROBLEM.

10 IS THE FIRST SMALL NUMBER.

57 IS THE BIG NUMBER, BUT IT'S NOT A BIG NUMBER

FOR ANY TENS FACT.

50 IS THE CLOSEST WE CAN GET WITH A TENS FACT.

IN THIS NUMBER FAMILY, WHAT'S THE MISSING SMALL NUMBER?

IT'S 5.

WE WRITE THE NUMBER FAMILY LIKE THIS.

WITH THE 5 OVER THE LAST DIGIT OF 57,

AND THE 50 BELOW.

TO FIND OUT HOW MANY ARE LEFT OVER,

WE SUBTRACT.

57 MINUS 50.

HOW MANY IS THAT?

7.

THAT'S THE REMAINDER.

SO WE WRITE "R" FOR "REMAINDER," AND 7.

NEW PROBLEM.

5 IS THE FIRST SMALL NUMBER.

42 IS THE BIG NUMBER, BUT IT'S NOT A BIG NUMBER

FOR ANY FIVES FACT.

WHAT'S THE CLOSEST WE CAN GET TO 42 WITH A FIVES FACT?

40 IS THE CLOSEST FIVES FACT.

IN THIS NUMBER FAMILY, WHAT'S THE MISSING SMALL NUMBER?

IT'S 8.

HERE'S HOW WE WRITE THE NUMBER FAMILY.

TO FIND OUT HOW MANY ARE LEFT OVER,

WE SUBTRACT.

42 MINUS 40.

HOW MANY IS THAT?

2 ARE LEFT OVER.

WE WRITE "R" FOR "REMAINDER," AND 2.

[explosion]

NOW THE PROBLEM UNDER THE DIVISION SIGN

HAS A ZERO IN IT.

0 DIVIDED BY ANY NUMBER IS 0.

0 DIVIDED BY 2 IS 0.
