    Guess and check is a problem-solving strategy where an initial guess is made and then checked against the problem to see if it is correct. If incorrect, the guess is refined based on if it is too high or low until the right solution is found. An example of using this method showed guessing pairs of even integers until the product of 1088 was correctly identified as being 32 and 34.

    Problem-Solving Strategy: Guess and Check

    To solve some problems, you can make a reasonable guess and then check it in
    the problem. You can then use the results to improve your guess until you find
    the solution. This strategy is called guess and check .

    Example

    The product of two consecutive even integers is 1088. What


    are the integers?
    The product is close to 1000.
    This product is
    Make a guess. Lets try 24 and 26.
    24 26 624
    too low.
    Adjust the guess upward.
    Try 30 and 32.

    30

    32

    960

    Adjust the guess upward again.


    Try 34 and 36.

    34

    36

    1224

    This product is
    too high.

    Try between 30 and 34.


    Try 32 and 34.

    32

    34

    1088

    This is the
    correct product.

    The integers are 32 and 34.

    This product is
    still too low.
