Question

Why should you write everything down instead of doing the math in your head?

Answer 1

Because when you need to use this information in the future it will be in your notebook/binder. When you study each lesson you will have the answers in your notes for when you do a Test or quiz. When doing math in your head it is called mental math but it is only used when needed.

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

It ensures that you don't accidently skip a step or get confused by which numbers are being used. By writing it down, it allows you to look back and see if you answer was correct or incorrect.

For example:

On a test, you need to do a complicated math problem that you know you can do in your head. It would still be a good idea to write down the process, so that you can see in front of you the numbers you get and results. If it is incorrect when checking over you answers, then you can go through the steps you made to see where you made a mistake.
