Checking Your Work

Double-Check for Success

After you finish a problem, look over your answer to make sure it makes sense. Try solving it another way, or plug your answer back into the question. This helps you catch small mistakes before turning in your test!

Tip

Ask yourself: Does this answer make sense? Did I use the right operation?

Examples

  • Finishing an addition problem and adding the numbers again to check.

  • Using subtraction to check an addition answer (if \( 7 + 5 = 12 \), then \( 12 - 5 = 7 \)).
