What does this error review paper cover?

It targets the three commonest slips: a remainder larger than the divisor, forgetting the extra group, and finding the dividend.

How is an answer checked on the spot?

Multiply the divisor by the quotient and add the remainder, then check the remainder is smaller than the divisor.

03　Answers and one-line notes

#	Answer	One-line note
1	Quotient 4, remainder 3	4 times 4 = 16 and 19 minus 16 = 3, so the quotient is 4 with remainder 3, which is smaller than 4.
2	Quotient 7, remainder 5	6 times 7 = 42 and 47 minus 42 = 5, so the quotient is 7 with remainder 5.
3	The largest remainder is 5	A remainder must be smaller than the divisor, so the largest is 6 minus 1 = 5.
4	59	7 times 8 = 56 and 56 plus 3 = 59, which is the check divisor times quotient plus remainder.
5	Quotient 9, remainder 5	9 times 9 = 81 and 86 minus 81 = 5, so the quotient is 9 with remainder 5.
6	14 bags, 2 left over	100 divided by 7 = 14 remainder 2, and the 2 left cannot fill another bag.
7	9 cars	65 divided by 8 gives 8 remainder 1, and the last person still needs a car, so 9 cars.
8	103	9 times 11 = 99 and 99 plus 4 = 103, which checks back to quotient 11 remainder 4.
9	30 pieces, 5 centimetres left	245 divided by 8 = 30 remainder 5, and 5 centimetres cannot make another piece.
10	Quotient 7, remainder 3	The remainder 8 is larger than the divisor 5, so one more group fits: 5 times 7 = 35 and 38 minus 35 = 3.

04　What to do after marking

After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
