Grade 4 · The Planning Year · Week 22

Small and Often

The costs that are too small to argue about and large enough to matter.

This game goes with week 22 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

How often, and how much

Row a is done for you: $0.99 three times a week for 40 weeks is $118.80.

Row b: $0.50, 5 times a week. Over 40 weeks$ Row c: $2.00, 1 times a week. Over 40 weeks$ Row d: $1.25, 2 times a week. Over 40 weeks$ Row e: $0.25, 10 times a week. Over 40 weeks$ The smallest total

Row e is the smallest amount on the page and not the smallest total. How often decides as much as how much.

Something bought often
