Study Strategies

Checking Your Work and Estimating

Be Your Own Math Coach

After solving a problem, always check your work:

  • Reread the problem and your answer.
  • Check calculations for mistakes.
  • Estimate the answer before or after to see if it makes sense.

Why Estimation Helps

Estimation helps you catch silly mistakes and gives you confidence in your answers. If your answer is way off, you’ll spot it right away!

Examples

  • Estimating 52 + 48 is about 100, so make sure your answer is close.

  • Double-checking subtraction by adding the answer back to the smaller number.
