CheckAnswer

CheckAnswers are used in Grades 2 - 6. This system allows students to verify their own work. The process involves adding together the answers of a set of 3-5 problems, and comparing the result with the CheckAnswer. The CheckAnswer is located in a box above each set of problems. Students should show their addition for the CheckAnswer.

EXAMPLE:  

Finding the CHECKANSWER above:

• Take the sum of the addition problem in column (A), the remainder from the subtraction problem in column (B), and the product of the multiplication problem in column (C).
• Add these numbers together.
• The sum, (D) should equal the number in the box. If not, students check each of the four problems.

Note:

• Watch for students who copy the answer to match the CheckAnswer and don't do the computation.
  
• Addition is always used in order to keep the checking process simple.
  
• Ask parents to help students with CheckAnswers. We want to encourage family participation and assistance with homework.
