Fairtrade Maths

Fairtrade products often cost slightly more than non-fairtrade products. Sometimes it’s a little bit more and sometimes it’s a lot more. This means that the farmer gets more money so their life is better and they can provide a better life for their family.

Go to the shop or go online to Tesco, ASDA, Sainsburys websites and find the price difference between the Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade versions of the same item.

For example, if you search for “Fairtrade” on tesco.com, there are 109 products.

Find the difference for these products. What is the total difference?

• Ice cream (Ben and Jerry’s is Fairtrade)
• Coffee
• Tea
• Chocolate
• Bananas
• Rice (some supermarkets don’t sell Fairtrade rice)
• Cocoa or hot chocolate

Language

Read up to the pages on the language wall (or further if you want). Choose a character from the book that you would like to write a short story about. Write a short story about that character/Characters. Your story needs to be influenced by the things you already know about the character – their personality, where they live, what they do, who the other characters in their lives are. Maximum 1000 words! You need to plan it so that your whole story happens before 1000 words.
