Contextualization

Hello, young mathematicians! Let's embark on an incredible project that will help us better understand division, one of the most important concepts in mathematics. But why is it so important? Well, division is the key to solving real-life problems, such as distributing items equally among people or groups, calculating change, dividing time, etc. And one skill we need to master division is understanding the 'Remainders of Division'.

Have you ever wondered what happens when we divide one number by another and there is a little piece left, a remainder? For example, when we divide 10 by 3, the result is 3 with a remainder of 1. In this case, 1 is the remainder of the division. Remainders of division are very useful and appear in many situations in our daily lives.

Introduction

Remainders of division are the numbers that are left out of the division. They can range from 0 to a number less than the divisor. For example, when we divide 10 by 3, the remainder is 1. But when we divide 10 by 5, the remainder is 0 because 10 is divisible by 5, nothing is left over.

Learning to deal with remainders of division is essential because they can help us solve more complex problems. For example, if we have 15 reais and we want to buy snacks that cost 3 reais each, how many snacks can we buy? The answer is 5, but how did we get to this result? By using division with remainders!

In this project, we will explore different ways to represent and understand remainders of division. We will discover that remainders of division have many interesting properties and can be used in various ways to solve mathematical problems. So, are you ready to become masters of division and remainders of division? Let's do this!

Practical Activity - 'Remainders of Division in Real Life'

Project Objective

In this project, you will research and create real-life scenarios where 'remainders of division' are used. Additionally, you will creatively represent these scenarios and present them to the class.

Project Description

You, in groups of 3 to 5 students, will conduct research to find everyday situations where 'remainders of division' are used. Think of examples like: dividing candies among friends, distributing toys among siblings or cousins, etc.

After the research, each group should create a story or scenario that represents one of these situations. You can draw, write a short play, create a song, or even a game. The important thing is that the chosen situation involves the idea of 'remainders of division'.

Necessary Materials

• Paper and pencil for research and planning
• Materials for creation: colored paper, pens, colored pencils, glue, scissors (depending on the type of representation chosen)

Step by Step

1. Group Formation: Divide into groups of 3 to 5 students.

2. Research: Each group should research everyday situations where 'remainders of division' are used. Look in books, on the internet, or talk to family and friends. Write down your findings on paper.

3. Creation of the Scenario: Choose one of the researched situations and create a scenario that represents it. Think together about how you can use 'remainders of division' in this scenario. Remember to be creative! Write down your ideas on paper.

4. Presentation Planning: Now, plan how you will present the created scenario to the class. Think about how you can explain the concept of 'remainder of division' while presenting the story. Write the plan on paper.

5. Scenario Creation: With the necessary materials, start creating the scenario and the characters of the story. Remember to use your creativity!

6. Presentation: When the scenario is ready, present the story to the class. Explain the concept of 'remainder of division' during the presentation.

7. Presentation of the Written Work: In addition to the presentation, each group must submit a written work describing the researched situation, how the scenario was created, and how 'remainders of division' were used in the story. You can also include drawings or photos of the creation process, if you wish.

Remember, teamwork and creativity are essential for the success of the project. Have fun while learning about 'remainders of division'!

Delivery Format

• Presentation of the created scenario to the class.
• Submission of the written work, which should describe the researched situation, explain how the scenario was created, and how 'remainders of division' were used in the story.
