Grade 4 · The Planning Year · Week 32

Was the Plan Right?

Not: did you keep it. Whether the plan itself was the right plan.

This game goes with week 32 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

The month by category

snacks: planned $8.00, actual $12.00$ comics: planned $8.00, actual $6.00$ presents: planned $12.00, actual $14.00$ saving: planned $8.00, actual $6.00$ Planned total$ Actual total$

Wrong number, or one event?

Row a: over by $1 every weekRow b: exact, exact, exact, $6 overRow c: under by $2 every weekRow d: over, under, over, under, ends levelRow e: over by more each week than the week before

Read a pattern

Four weeks of one category, actual minus planned, in dollars. Over is plus, under is minus.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4

That is a wrong number. The category was measured wrong: change its size.
