Try an example
In 156 ÷ 3, the first 15 tens divided by 3 give 5 tens in the quotient. Then 6 ones divided by 3 give 2 ones. The answer is 52; 52 × 3 = 156 checks it.
What to check
At each stage, divide, multiply to check that part, subtract and bring down the next digit when needed. Keep any necessary zeros in the quotient. With a remainder, check dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.
Explain and check
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
