Q13. Why should you show your steps?

Answer: Showing steps makes reasoning easier to verify and helps locate mistakes.

Q14. Why is estimation useful?

Answer: Estimation helps you judge whether a final answer is reasonable before accepting it.

Q15. Why do units matter?

Answer: Units tell what a value measures and help prevent incompatible quantities from being mixed.

Q16. When should you round?

Answer: Usually round near the end unless the question specifically asks for earlier rounding.

Q17. How can you check an answer?

Answer: Use an inverse operation, substitution, estimation, a graph, a table, or a second method.

Q20. What should you do if an answer seems unreasonable?

Answer: Re-read the question and check copied values, operations, signs, units, rules, and calculations.

Q21. Why are diagrams useful?

Answer: A labelled diagram can reveal relationships that are harder to see in words alone.

Q22. Why are tables useful?

Answer: Tables organize values so patterns, rates, comparisons, and missing information are easier to see.

Q23. Why are graphs useful?

Answer: Graphs make relationships, changes, trends, and comparisons visible.

Q24. Why should you explain your reasoning?

Answer: An explanation shows why a method works instead of only giving a final number.

Q25. Why can more than one strategy be correct?

Answer: Different correct strategies can represent the same mathematics in different but equivalent ways.

Q26. What should you do before using a formula or rule?

Answer: Check what each quantity means and whether the rule matches the situation.

Q27. How does practice help in mathematics?

Answer: Practice builds accuracy and fluency while helping you recognize which strategies fit different problems.

Q28. What is a good way to learn from a mistake?

Answer: Find the exact step where the reasoning changed from correct to incorrect, then solve a similar problem again.

Q29. Why should you compare an exact answer with an estimate?

Answer: The estimate gives a quick reasonableness check for the exact calculation.

Q30. What does representing mathematics mean?

Answer: It means showing an idea with numbers, symbols, words, diagrams, tables, graphs, or models.
