victorian money

This half term we are learning about the Victorians. Can you complete a Victorian money challenge using the information you have been given?

Bronze: The chimney sweep has earned 4 Silver Sixpence for his day’s work. How much has he earned in total? Explain how you worked out your answer.

Silver: In my purse, I have 3 sovereigns and 2 florins. How much money do I have? Explain how you worked out your answer.

Gold: Which amount of money is higher? 10 shillings or 3 Guinea? Explain how you know.

Platinum: Try to find out what one Pound would buy in Victorian times, and compare to what one Pound would buy today? Is a Pound worth the same now as then? Find out what a loaf of bread would cost then and now.

    Bronze:the total is 24 I know this because 6×4=24
    Silver:the total is 3 pound and 4 shillings I know this because 3 sovereign and 2 florin equals that amount.
    Gold:out of 10 shillings and 3 guineas, 3 guineas is more because 3 guineas are 63 shillings.

    Bronze:
    The chimney sweep earned 24p and I know this because 4 x 6 = 24.
    Silver:
    The answer is 3.48. I know this because
    a souvenir is one pound and a florin is 2 shillings.So if you do 1×3 it is 3 and if you do 2×2 it is 4.
