Remainder of 1 macaroni bugs

We were crawling with macaroni bugs in Year 2 as we tried to solve the problem of Joe who was always the Remainder of One as the 25 bugs tried to march in even rows to see the Queen.  We read the book and were set the challenge to solve Joe's problem before the author  . . . and we did!
Using our times tables knowledge and experimenting with rows of 2, 3 and 4 we then got the answer!
Can you share the answer with your family -- just make sure you check before your raid your kitchen cupboard for pasta to show how you worked it out!
Now we know how learning our times tables for homework can help us with lots of our maths problems.
