Quedar - What does it mean here?

Question

I understand most of this note to me except those emboldened. Can someone help me understand what quedar means here? I get the general meaning but need to know exactly where to start with the lesson.

... revisé con los alumnos la tarea del WB unit 5 y terminamos hasta la página 38 del SB, quedamos en el ejercicio 7, el Grammar focus, para que los profesores se lo enseñen.

We (remain) on exercise 7. More correctly, ''we are currently on''... as Farallon stated. - sinsonte, May 24, 2012

Answer 1

"quedamos" = We are currently in exercise 7, el "Grammar Focus", for the teachers to teach it.

Ok, I've never seen it used like this. That makes it more clear. Thank you. - katydew, May 24, 2012

My pleasure! - farallon7, May 24, 2012

Answer 2

we finished/we ended/we stopped on exercise 7.....so that the teachers would teach it to them

Thanks. So does that mean I need to teach them Exercise 7 or they already did it? - katydew, May 24, 2012

Thanks for the help. - katydew, May 24, 2012

Answer 3

I agree with farallon7...

"Quedar" express your current situation

Examples:

"Me quedan 2 euros para tener 100" (Currently he has only got 98 euros).

" Me he quedado sin leche" (I've ran out the milk)

---

"Quedar" also means "to have an appoinment"

He quedado con mi amigo para tomar algo.

I've an appoinment to have a drink

Thank you for the different contexts. Very helpful. - katydew, May 25, 2012
