💡 How to solve: Interpreting Remainders in Word Problems
First divide. Then read the question again. If everyone or everything must fit, add 1 to the quotient (round up). If only full groups count, drop the remainder. If the question asks how many are left over, the remainder is the answer.

💡 How to solve: Multi-Step Word Problems
Read the whole story, then find the hidden question you must answer first. Solve that step, and use its answer in the next step. Example: 4 packs of 12 pencils, then 9 are given away: 4 × 12 = 48, then 48 − 9 = 39. When you divide and there is a remainder, read the question again: "how many full boxes" drops the remainder, "how many are needed so everyone fits" needs one more. Estimate to check that your answer makes sense.
