2. Describe the error that has been made in the following calculation: 213 876 - 114 689 = 328 565.

3. Write out the following column method calculation and describe the error that has occurred: 562 088 - 134 199 = 432 111.

Check your answer against the estimate to see whether they are similar.

Create a word problem with the numbers that you have used in your calculation.

Recalculate the answer using a different method.

Use the inverse method to confirm your answer.

Which of the following methods is NOT a sensible way of checking to see whether we have made an error using the column method?
