Do the division using the c-strips to make a train of as many of the divisor as possible such that the length of the train you make is less than or equal to the length of the dividend, and if you were to add one more of the divisor to the train, it would be longer than the dividend.
If the train ends up being the same length as the dividend, there will be no remainder and the second blank will be empty.
a. Make a diagram using c-strips.
b. In terms of the strips $B+P=\boxed{?}$ reminder $\boxed{?}$ since $B=\cdot P+\boxed{?}$
c. In terms of the numbers $\boxed{?}/ \boxed{?}=\boxed{?}$ remainder $ \boxed{?} $ since $\boxed{?}=\boxed{?} \cdot \boxed{?}$

sorry I just think the way this was written was ? just a simple division problem with a remainder

Is this a "Math for Elementary School Teachers" class? It looks like the way one would introduce division in an elementary class. To demonstrate "6/2" one could take a strip of paper 6" long and 3 strips 2" and line the 2" strips along side the 6" strip.
