A question to grow on.
What is one small step you can take? How could you adjust if a week goes differently?
Grown-up notes & answer guide
Use pretend money or a real goal chosen together. This activity does not require an allowance or a purchase.
For each row, add the new amount to the previous balance. The first balance includes any starting savings.
Online, the number of weeks assumes the same amount is saved each week. A changing amount means the plan will change, too.
Answer key / example: Practice example: a $20 goal, $4 already saved, and $2 added each week leaves $16 to save. Eight more weekly deposits of $2 reach the goal.
