Martin uses his calculator to work out 39 × 72.
The display shows an answer of 1053.
How do you know this answer must be wrong?
“is approximately equal to”
39 × 72 40 × 70 = 2800
The product of 39 and 72 must therefore end in an 8.
9 × 2 = 18.9 × 2 = 18.
Estimation
Also, if we multiply together the last digits of 39 and 72 we have

3.5 × 17.5 can be approximated to:
4 × 20 = 80
3 × 18 = 54
4 × 17 = 68
or between 3 × 17 = 51 and 4 × 18 = 72
How could we estimate the answer to 3.5 × 17.5?

Using points on a scale to estimate answers
Jessica is trying to estimate which number multiplied by itself will give the answer 32.
She knows that 5 × 5 = 25 and that 6 × 6 = 36.
The number must therefore be between 5 and 6.
She draws the following scales to help her find an approximate answer.

Use Jessica’s method to estimate which number multiplied by itself will give an answer of 40.
We know that 6 × 6 = 36 and that 7 × 7 = 49.
Draw a scale from 36 to 49.
Underneath, draw a scale from 6 to 7.

Solving complex calculations mentally
What is ?3.2 + 6.8
7.4 – 2.4
3.2 + 6.8
7.4 – 2.4=
10
5= 2
We could also write this calculation as: (3.2 + 6.8) ÷ (7.4 – 2.4).
How could we work this out using a calculator?

Using bracket keys on the calculator
What is ?3.7 + 2.1
3.7 – 2.1
We start by estimating the answer:
3.7 + 2.1
3.7 – 2.1 3
6
2=
Using brackets we key in:
(3.7 + 2.1) ÷ (3.7 – 2.1) = 3.625

Finding whole number remainders
Sometimes, when we divide, we need the remainder to be expressed as a whole number.
For example, 236 eggs are packed into boxes of 12.
Using a calculator: 236 ÷ 12 = 19.66666667This is 19.6 recurring or 19.6
.Number of boxes filled = 19
.Number of eggs left over = 0.6 × 12 = 8
How many boxes are filled?
How many eggs are left over?

Finding whole number remainders
Find the remainder if this answer was obtained by:
a) Dividing 384 by 60 0.4 × 60 = 24
b) Dividing 160 by 25 0.4 × 25 = 10
c) Dividing by 2464 by 385 0.4 × 385 = 154

Working with units of time
What is 248 days in weeks and days?
Using a calculator we key in:
2 4 8 ÷ 7 =
Which gives us an answer of 35.42857143 weeks.
We have 35 whole weeks.
To find the number of days left over we key in:
– 3 5 = × 7 =
This give us the answer 3.
248 days = 35 weeks and 3 days.

Converting units of time to decimals
When using a calculator to work with with units of time it can be helpful to enter these as decimals.For example:
7 minutes and 15 seconds = 7 1560
minutes
= 7 14
minutes
= 7.25 minutes
4 days and 18 hours = 4 1824
days
= 4 34
days
= 4.75 days

Four people used their calculators to work out .9 + 30
15 – 7
Tracy gets the answer 4.
Fiona gets the answer 4.875.
Andrew gets the answer –4.4.
Sam gets the answer 12.75.

Making sure answers are sensible
When we complete a calculation, whether using a calculator, a mental method or a written method we should always check that the answer is sensible.
Use checks for divisibility when you multiply by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. For example, if you multiply a number by 9 the sum of the digits should be a multiple of 9.
Make sure that the sum of two odd numbers is an even number.
When you multiply two large numbers together check the last digit. For example, 329 × 842 must end in an 8 because 9 × 2 = 18.

Using rounding and approximation
We can check that answers to calculations are of the right order of magnitude by rounding the numbers in the calculation to find an approximate answer.
Sam calculates that 387.4 × 0.45 is 174.33. Could this be correct?
387.4 × 0.45 is approximately equal to 390 × 0.5 =195
This approximate answer is a little larger than the calculated answer but since both numbers were rounded up, there is a good chance that the answer is correct.

Using inverse operations
We can use a calculator to check answers using inverse operations.
We can check the solution to
34.2 × 45.9 = 1569.78
by calculating
1569.78 ÷ 34.2
If the calculation is correct then the answer will be 45.9.

We can use a calculator to check answers using inverse operations.
We can check the solution to
by calculating
128 × 7 ÷ 4
If the calculation is correct then the answer will be 224.
