Grown-up notes & answer guide
This activity shows growth from adding money, not an investment return or interest calculation.
Week 1 ends at $2; week 2 at $4; week 3 at $6; week 4 at $8. One more $2 deposit would reach $10.
Optional conversation: some savings accounts also earn interest. The amount depends on the account. This worksheet makes no promise about returns.
Answer key / example: $0 + $2 + $2 + $2 + $2 = $8 after four weeks. There is $2 left to reach the $10 goal. At the same pace, week 5 reaches $10.
