Checking Your Work and Avoiding Mistakes

Double-Checking for Success

Mistakes happen, but you can catch and fix them! Always:

  • Review each step to see if you followed the correct procedure.
  • Re-read the question to make sure you answered what was asked.

Use estimation to see if your answer makes sense.

  • If time allows, try solving the problem a different way to confirm your answer.

Careful checking can improve your accuracy and boost your confidence!

Examples

  • Estimating the answer before calculating to see if it's reasonable.

  • Rewriting a solution to see if you get the same answer twice.
