🌟 Unit Pricing & Smart Choices 🌟 - Grade 6 Financial Literacy

Hi my clever Grade 6 shoppers! 👋

Today we’re learning about Unit Pricing — one of the smartest shopping tools! Unit price tells you exactly how much something costs per item, per gram, or per litre. This helps you make the best buying decisions and save money!

🛒🔍💰

1. What is Unit Price?

Unit Price = Total Price ÷ Quantity

It shows the real cost for one unit (like per 100g or per litre)

2. Let’s Compare Real Products

Peanut Butter A: 500g for $3.99
Unit Price = $3.99 ÷ 500g = 0.798¢ per gram

Peanut Butter B: 1kg (1000g) for $6.49
Unit Price = $6.49 ÷ 1000g = 0.649¢ per gram

Peanut Butter B is the better buy! 💰

3. Let’s Practice Together! 🛒

Question 1

Yogurt A: 750g for $4.29
Yogurt B: 1.5kg (1500g) for $7.49
Which is the better buy?

Yogurt A: 0.572¢ per gram
Yogurt B: 0.499¢ per gram
Yogurt B is better! ⭐

Question 2

You have $10. Which is the smarter choice?
• 2 L milk for $3.89
• 4 L milk for $6.99

2L = $1.945 per litre
4L = $1.7475 per litre
4L is the better buy ⭐

Question 3

Why is unit pricing more important than just looking at the total price?

Because bigger packages can look cheaper but sometimes cost more per unit! ⭐

4. In Real Canadian Life 🇨🇦

• Grocery stores show unit price on shelves
• Comparing different sizes of cereal, juice, or snacks
• Deciding between family-size and regular packs
• Online shopping comparisons
