Remember: The remainder is what is over after a fair share. It is always smaller than the number sharing.
Read and answer
Read the story first.
The party cupcakesGran baked fourteen cupcakes for Mia and Ben's party. Four friends were coming, so Ben set out four plates. Mia dealt the cupcakes one at a time, one for each plate. Going all the way round once is one round. After three rounds, every plate had three cupcakes. Mia looked at the tray. Some cupcakes were still there, but there were not enough for a whole round, because four plates need four cupcakes. Cupcakes left over after a fair share have a special name: the remainder.
