At the top is your pile: 38 🍎. Below it you see a full box. As many dots as lie in it fit into every box - here that is 6.
38 ÷ 6 = 6 remainder 2. Six boxes get completely full, and 2 apples are left over. Those are exactly the ones in the dashed box at the end of the row.
Now it depends on what is asked. "How many boxes get full?" - that is 6. The two apples do not count, they do not fill a box.
"How many boxes do you need for everything?" - that is 7. Because the two apples have to go somewhere too, and for that you need one more box.
The same calculation, two correct answers. So always read the question first and then look at the dashed box.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Division with a remainder and, above all, making sense of that remainder. Children often work the remainder out correctly and then do not know what it means. Here it is visible - it sits in a started box. Whether that box counts is decided by the question, not by the calculation. So the child learns that a word problem is only complete together with its question.
Common pitfalls
The most common mistake is always giving the same answer because the same calculation is written there. It helps to tap the dashed box with a finger and say out loud whether it counts. The second stumbling block is the remainder itself - it always has to be smaller than what fits into one box. If it is bigger, one box was not filled enough.
How to practice at home
Pack something together that really goes into boxes: eggs in half-dozen cartons, drinks in crates, socks in pairs. Ask both questions. "How many crates are full?" and "How many crates do we need so nothing is left behind?" It also works with seats on a trip - 23 children and a bus with 5 seats per row.
