11 Check your answer to problem 6 by solving it with a different strategy. Show your work.
Answers will vary.
Estimate the sum of each addition problem to check if the student’s answer is
reasonable. If not, cross out the answer and write the correct answer.
1 How does estimating an addition problem help you know if an answer is reasonable?
Answers will vary. Possible answer: An estimate tells you an approximate answer.
If your answer is very different from the estimate, then your answer may be
incorrect.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: Yes; it may be incorrect in the tens or ones place.
The answer may be reasonable when compared with the estimate, but there may still
be an addition error in one of the places.
Subtract.
4 What strategy did you use to find the differences for problem 2? Explain.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: I added on to the number being subtracted
to get to 2,000.
5 How could you check your answer to one of the problems using another strategy?
Estimate. Circle all the problems with differences between 30,000 and 60,000.
Then find the differences of only the circled problems.
16 Use estimation and addition to check one of your answers. Show your work.
17 How does checking with addition compare with checking using estimation?
Answers will vary. Possible answer: Addition takes longer, but will catch wrong answers
that seem reasonable. Estimation only catches wrong answers that are unreasonable.

5 How can you estimate to check one of your answers? Show your work.
7 What pattern do you notice in problem 2? How could it help you solve a problem
such as 297 3 2?
Answers will vary. Possible answer: Each product is 2 less than the previous product.
As one factor decreases by 1, the product decreases by 2 3 1, or 2. To find 297 3 2,
you could multiply 300 3 2 5 600, then subtract 3 3 2 from the product. You
subtract 3 3 2 because 297 is 3 less than 300.
Estimate. Circle all the problems that will have products between 18,000 and 32,000.
Then find the exact products of only the problems you circled. Show your work.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: I rounded the greater number to the nearest
thousand to estimate the product. Then I used place value to multiply.

1 How does estimating a multiplication problem help you know if an answer is reasonable?
Answers will vary. Possible answer: If the answer is much greater or much less than
the estimate, it tells you to check your work.

problem apart into smaller parts and using repeated subtraction.
Answers

Check the student’s answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the
remainder. If an answer is incorrect, cross out the answer and write the correct quotient,
including the remainder.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: Micah has 188 rocks in his collection. He
displays an equal amount of rocks on each of 5 shelves. How many rocks are on
each shelf? Are there any rocks left over?
Answers will vary. Possible answer: Yes. In these problems, the incorrect answers
were close to the correct answers. You had to multiply to check to know if an answer
was incorrect.
Estimate. Circle all the problems with quotients between 500 and 1,500.
Then find the exact quotients of only the problems you circled.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: I rounded each dividend to the nearest hundred.
Then used basic facts and place value to estimate the quotient.

10 Which strategies did you use to solve the problems? Explain why.
Answers will vary. Possible answer: I looked at the numbers I was given. If I knew two
numbers for the numerators I could use multiplication facts to figure out the third
number, or apply the same strategy to the denominators. Then, since the second
fraction should have the same numerator and denominator, I can use that
information to fill in the other boxes.

Possible answer: I thought about ways to make the numerator from smaller numbers.
The denominator stays the same in each set of problems.
