Grade 4 · The Planning Year · Week 15

The Difference Column

Over, under, or exactly nothing. The third column is where the plan answers back.

This game goes with week 15 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

Fill in the difference

Row a is done for you: planned $2.50, actual $3.10, so $0.60 over.

Row b, presents: planned $3.25, actual $3.25$ Row c, saving: planned $1.75, actual $1.00$ Row d, comics: planned $1.00, actual $0.00$ Row e, bus: planned $2.00, actual $2.40$

Under is not automatically good. Being under on saving means you saved less than you meant to.
