Maths

This week in Maths, we are revising money. 

 

WALT convert amounts between pence (p) and pounds (£)

Remember your learn it: £1 = 100p! 

 

Here are 120p or £1.20

 

When writing £ and p you need a decimal point. This shows how many of the numbers are showing the £ and how many are showing the p.

In money, because the biggest possible number of p is 99p, the decimal is always followed by two p digits. Amounts of money cannot have one p digit or three p digits: 

 

The last two digits will always be your p, so 142p = £1.42

142p could never be £14.2 or £142

307p would still keep 2 digits after the decimal point:  ----> £3.07

370p would still keep 2 digits after the decimal point. 

ALWAYS count in two decimal places.

 

367p --> £3.67         45638p  ------>£456.38

 

Think about.... How many £ in 524p? 

                         Where would you put the decimal point in

                         this number, to make it £ and p?                            1489p?

 

See below for the video explanation and your tasks for today.

Maths Questions : 

WALT use decimal notation in money

 

Challenge: Convert these amounts of pence into pounds!

Remember: the last two digits will be the p e.g. 3567p = £35.67

  1. 4583p                                                           7) 4067p
  2. 5423p                                                                8) 58456p
