⁦A named number is a number with the name of a unit, for example 2 m 40 cm or 3 kg 600 g⁩. ⁦In Grade 4 all four operations are done with named numbers⁩.

Method: ⁦write the named numbers in one (the smaller) unit, do the sum with ordinary numbers, then express the result in two units⁩. ⁦For example 2 m 40 cm · 3 = 240 cm · 3 = 720 cm = 7 m 20 cm⁩.

Reminder: ⁦1 m = 100 cm, 1 kg = 1000 g⁩. ⁦A common slip is to do the operation with one unit only, for example to multiply only the centimetres⁩.
