What is the difference between these

numbers and the last? What do you notice?

When ordering money…

You need to make sure you remember units.

Although 4,537p looks larger than £45.37, £45.37 actually equals 4,537.

Lesson 2- Estimating Money

Estimating Money

Sometimes in life, it is useful to estimate money. So if you’re at the shops and you only have a £10 note with you, you can walk round the shop and do quick maths to make sure you won’t go over that amount. We do this by using rounding.

Example

I know that each division represents 10p. I have put the numbers on the number line and then drawn arrows to represent if we are rounding up or down.

To the nearest pound: £3.21 - £3£3.67 - £4£3.87 - £4

Methods

You don’t need to use the number line method. Remember our tiger? You can use your rounding knowledge to look at the place value directly after the decimal point, the tenths, in order to work out whether the number will round up or down.

5 or more let it roar, 4 or less let it rest.

Try this by yourself, answer is on the next page!

Example

To the nearest pound: £7.54 - £8 £7.45 - £7701p - £7

Lesson 4-Investigation

Today

We are going to use our skills to solve an investigation about a stationary shop.

If you’re stuck…

• How much money did Amy actually spend?

• Can you use this amount to estimate how many pens and pencils she might have bought?

Circle the relevant parts. What do you know? What information do you have?
