Grade 4 · The Venture Year · Week 19

What It Costs to Make One

Add up every single thing. The ones you forget are the ones that eat your profit.

This game goes with week 19 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

Materials come in packs. Work out what one item takes from each pack. The beads are done for you: a $4 bag holds 50, a bracelet uses 8, so the beads in one bracelet cost $0.64.

To the nearest cent. The page then asks about the ones people forget: packaging, waste, what you borrowed, the sign.
