Good morning Class 4!
Today we are continuing our topic on money…
WORKBOOK: 4B
CHAPTER: 9
WORKSHEETS: 3 AND 4
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!
Comparing and Rounding Amounts of Money
There are 100 pence in one pound.
Money can be written as, for example, £5.50, which means five pounds and fifty pence. The
decimal point separates the pounds from the pence.
In some cases you will see money written as 550p. This is the same amount but there is no
decimal point.
You should not write money as £5.50p using both £ and p.
The cost of unleaded petrol in this photo is 117.9p. If this were written in pounds it would be given
as £1.17 9/10. But since we can’t have 9/10 of a penny it would be rounded up to £1.18.
50p in pounds would be written £0.50.
5p in pounds would be written £0.05.
If we are comparing amounts of money we look at the difference between the amounts.
Look at the example…
Here we can see the lollies are £1.89 and the chocolate is £1.85
We can say:
– £1.89 is more than £1.85
OR
– £1.85 is less than £1.89
NOW TRY WORKSHEET 3
If we are rounding amounts of money we look at the pence and decide which whole number (in this case pound) the amount is closest to.
Look at the example…
We can use number lines to help us to see which whole pound our amount is closest to.
Try to remember the rhyme we learnt in class when rounding numbers…
‘5 to 9, climb the vine. 0 to 4, slide to the floor.’
