Trader's Manual: Year 4 Measures
Money (Pounds & Pence)
To accept a trade, you often need to calculate change.
Cost: £3.50
Paid: £5.00
Change: £5.00 - £3.50 = £1.50
Estimation & Comparison
A good merchant knows their goods!
- Mass: Which is heavier? A 1kg gold bar or a 500g bag of feathers? (1kg = 1000g, so the gold is heavier!)
- Length: Estimate heights. If a door is 2m tall, a tower might be 10m tall.
Curriculum Goals: Estimate, compare and calculate different measures, including
money in pounds and pence.
