This Year 4 Checking Strategies activity has been created to give children a little extra practice and support when using strategies to check their answers. The resource has been designed to use in groups, and so is perfect to use in class or as a part of a small intervention group. A list of resources is provided and a set of instructions are given to make leading the task as easy as can be. You'll have children estimating and checking their answers in no time at all.
