Three Errors

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practical exercise designed for learners to identify errors in pre-filled checks. Each check presented on the sheet contains three deliberate mistakes that the learner must find and note. The checks include typical elements such as the date, payee, numerical and written amount, signature, and memo, all of which are common targets for errors. The task is set up to challenge the learner’s attention to detail and understanding of what constitutes a correctly filled check.

The worksheet aims to teach students critical thinking and problem-solving skills within the context of financial literacy. By spotting inconsistencies or incorrect information in the check examples, students learn the proper way to issue a check and the common pitfalls to avoid. It reinforces the importance of accuracy and completeness in financial documents. This kind of exercise ensures that students understand not just how to write a check, but also how to review one for common mistakes.
