Read This! A Remainder of One

Michael and Will both read A Remainder of One by Elinor K. Pinczes.

Here's what they wrote:

This book is about an army of 25 trying to divide the soldiers into even lines. Joe is left behind because there is a remainder of 1. He was left behind because the army tried lines of 4, 6, and 8, and each time there was a remainder of 1. Then they tried lines of 5. Then the lines are even because 5 x 5 = 25. I found it interesting that Joe didn't suggest to march in lines of 5 in the beginning. This book teaches about dividing with a remainder. By: Michael

I'm Will and I read a book called A Remainder of One. This is about how if you divide 25 by 2, 3, or 4 you have a remainder of one but if you divide it by 5 you get 5 without a remainder. I found it interesting that 24 would divide evenly by 1, 2, 3, or 4 but not 5. This book teaches that all numbers can be divided by something.
