Lesson 7
We also use estimates to check problems solved using paper and pencil.
Errors made with paper and pencil are usually regrouping errors. We
either forget to regroup or regroup incorrectly.
Estimate
700
600
100
Look at how the problem was solved using traditional subtraction. Look
carefully at the tens column. Is it possible to subtract 9 from 3? No. We
need to regroup. The problem is solved correctly below.
Traditional Subtraction
6 13
732
591 CORRECT
141
Estimate
700
600
100
Now the estimate and the answer found using traditional subtraction
are close. Estimation helped us see that 141 is a reasonable answer.
