Good morning Class 4!
Today we are solving problems involving money! This helps us to put what we have covered so far into real life context.
WORKBOOK: 4B
CHAPTER: 9
WORKSHEETS: 5 and 6
Some of you may have done thee pages in your Maths No Problem books but please remember we are consolidating what we have already learnt (that means we are going back through everything to check we understand it) so if you can, do the pages again or go through your answers and check you are correct and understand your working out. Then have a go at the challenge tasks!
Solving Problems Involving Money
Usually we buy more than one thing at a time. We have to ADD the amount of the items to find how how much we need to pay.
If I wanted to buy a new Lego set for £5.99 and some scented stickers for £3.00 I would have to do the following sum:
£5.99 + £3.00 = £8.99
If I only have a 10 pound note I would need to SUBTRACT the total amount of my items from the £10 to work out my change.
£10.00 – £8.99 = £1.01
So, when I go to pay, I should be given a £1 coin and a 1p coin for my change.
Let’s look at an example Maths No Problem question before you start your worksheets…
First of all, we need to find the total of all of the items that the person wants to buy. This means we need to ADD.
We have to do the following sum:
£2.63 + £1.26 + £2.80 =
Next, to find out if they CAN afford to buy all three items, we need to work out how much money they have. They have a 2 pound coin and a 5 pound note so we need to do the following sum:
£5.00 + £2.00=
We know that £7.00 is more than £6.69 so they CAN in fact afford all three items! However, if we want to work out exactly how much change they will receive from their £7.00 we need to SUBTRACT the total of all three items from £7.00.
