what math class are you currently taking? what topic are you currently covering?
more importantly, have you considering going to your teacher for some extra help? it might help more than you know.

First.. are you trying to just 'finish' your assignments, or learn the concepts? Be sure to focus on the ideas-concepts in each problem assigned. Then you will be more likely to see answers that make no sense.
Slow down as you work. Rushing through problems, when you are just starting to learn how to do them, is never a good idea.
Re-read your work after you've completed it. If you can work with a partner and have them read over it as well, that would be fantastic. You often spot careless mistakes if you look over your work several hours later (or even the next day), so wait until you've rested to do this.
Good luck! Don't get discouraged. Even some of the most talented mathematicians make careless errors. I've been teaching mathematics for 21 years and I rarely get through a whole lesson without making at least one!

Perhaps you are trying to rush too much. Slow down. Think about what you are doing. Re-examine what you have done from start to finish before turning in an exam or written work to be graded. That should go a long way toward eliminating careless errors. Also, make sure that your errors aren't due to incomplete understanding of the material you are dealing with. Sometimes faulty understanding results in what might appear to be careless errors. Study your materials thoroughly and ask questions in class and after class to clarify any questions you have in your mind.

I usually tend to make careless mistakes, too. Much of what I miss on my tests are obvious mistakes and are not because I do not know the material. My best advice is to recheck all your answers and to take your time. It is better to finish last and get everything right then to rush and miss half the test. Double-check your answers and try using another method to get the answer so that if your first method was wrong you won't repeat the same wrong method when checking the answer.

Find something you lreally ike to do and use it as an incentive for being more careful in math. In other words, refrain from doing your favorite activity until you have mastered the skill you hope to gain. Set daily goals and reward yourself as you make progress. Once you learn to be your own monitor you will be able to accomplish most anything you attempt.

Math is precise, main cause of error is sloppiness followed by inattention.
BE neat. make colums of figures line up.
When working with equations - use enough paper and keep the = signs in a neat column.
don't try to do too many things in one step!
this helps you justify everything you do
It helps you to Pay Attention to what you're doing.
Remember, math is a puzzle -- it only goes together one way.

If it's carelessness, I'm in the same boat as you. Have you ever thought of DOUBLE CHECKING YOUR ANSWERS?

I'll help you, just email me, but I'll need to know what math class you're taking.
