 Year 4 Measure and Money Problems
Solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions
and decimals to two decimal places.

All games have the full price on the tag. If you buy the game
second-hand, it costs ½ of the full price. If you buy two or if
you buy two or more second-hand games you can get each of
them for a ¼ of the price. All new games are full price.

Use the information to answer the following questions.

Wall of Spies FOFA 16 Mindcraft The Force Cool Duty Toastbusters

Sleeps
£1.80 £3.96 £5.00 £4.00 £4.48 £5.84

1. How much would it cost to buy a second-hand copy of The Force Sleeps?

2. What would the total cost of buying Mindcraft and The Force Sleeps second hand?

3. How much would it be to buy new versions of both Cool Duty and Toastbusters?

4. How much would you pay to buy second-hand copies of Wall of Spies and FOFA 16?

5. What would the cost be for a new copy of Toastbusters and second-hand copies of Toastbusters
and The Force Sleeps?

6. How much would it cost to buy all of the games brand new?


 Adding and Subtracting Fractions
with the Same Denominators
Colour the correct number of sections in each circle, and then colour more or erase some
depending on the calculation. The denominator stays the same – you just have more or less
sections depending on the calculation!

E.g. E.g.

3 + 2 = 5 7 - 5 = 2
8 8 8 8 8 8

1. 2.

2 + 2 = 4 - 3 =
6 6 5 5

3. 4.

1 + 4 = 5 - 2 =
8 8 6 6
5. 6.

2 + 3 = 8 - 7 =

 Counting Up and Down
in Hundredths
Hundredths are made when we divide an object by 100. If we could cut a pizza into a hundred
slices, we would have made hundredths of a pizza!

A. Practise counting in hundredths by filling in the blanks.

1 2 3 4
100 100 100 100

2.

3.

37
100

B. We can also apply hundredths to numbers. £1 is divided into 100 pennies, so each penny is
one hundredth of a pound.

Fill in the missing numbers and the matching number of pennies.

E.g.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100

 Converting Decimal Tenths and
Hundredths to Fractions
Converting decimals tenths and hundredths to fractions couldn’t be easier - all you need is a
place value chart! To convert from a decimal into a fraction, we write the number on the place
value chart then read the number off the place value chart.

Ones tenths
0.7= No ones and 7 tenths. So the fraction is… 7 !
0 . 7 10

A. Write these decimals into the place value chart. Read the place value and write the decimal
as a fraction. The first question has been completed for you.

Working with hundredths is similar except we need to include the tenths too. There are 10
hundredths in a tenth.

We have 73 hundredths - therefore

 Test of Strength
Solving problems with increasingly harder fractions.

Start at the bottom and work your way towards the top. When you have finished, check your
answers (going upwards from the bottom) and colour each question you answered correctly.
How far can you go until you answer incorrectly?

Heavyweight earns in tax. If he earns £84, how much
does he have to pay in tax?

 Shrinking Machine
Recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100.

The shrinking machine makes numbers 10 or 100 times smaller. Can you write the shrunken
numbers in the new table? Add some sound effects to the machine too!

Make the numbers 10 times smaller.
