A benchmark is the mark by which all other numbers are judged.
Your teacher is asking you if 1000 sounds like a realistic number of shoes in your classroom. It helps you to understand benchmarks because they may tell you whether you've done your math correctly.
Would you use a benchmark of 1,000 to estimate the number of shoes in your classroom? Explain.
