A math teacher worth their salt should grade according to the solution method AgentApple Send a noteboard - 28/09/2015 05:28:45 PM

Anyone can make a calculation error, but the important thing is to see if the student understands the problem and the algorithm for its solution.

4pi is an exact while 12.57 is an estimate. If you were not told to estimate then it should be counted wrong. If the answer 1/3 and you gave 1.333 you would e wrong because 1.333 does not equal 1/3 and 4pi does not equal 12.57 even if you did more work to get there.
