|---|---|
| Not lining up 749 under the right places in 8820 - 749 | Write 749 under the hundreds, tens and ones: 8071. |
| Rounding and giving that as the exact answer: 1355 + 1131 + 1817 = 4300 | Add exactly: 4303. |
| 8787 - 99 = 8687 | Take away 100, then add 1 back: 8688. |
| Forgetting a carry: 1348 + 759 = 2007 | 1348 + 759 = 2107. |
