Reassignment method

Reassignment Method is a way to use math to find the most accurate answer to a question. It's like playing a game of before-and-after. Let's say you want to know how much something weighs. You will first give a guess at the answer, and then the reassignment method will tell you whether you need to make that answer bigger or smaller. It will keep adjusting your answer until it gets close enough to the right answer - so you can be very sure that you have the correct weight!
