Grade 4 · The Planning Year · Week 30

A Whole Month of Both Columns

Four weeks of plan and actual, kept properly, which is harder than one.

This game goes with week 30 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

The month, week by week

Row a is done for you: week 1 planned $9.00, actual $8.00, so $1.00 under.

Week 2: planned $9.00, actual $11.00$ Week 3: planned $9.00, actual $9.00$ Week 4: planned $9.00, actual $10.00$

Month, planned$ Month, actual$ Month, difference$ Which week was furthest over?

The four week differences, added with over as plus and under as minus, come to $2.00 over. The month difference has to agree, and it is the one that says the plan is a little too small.
