What this lesson shows
Save $3 every week: 3, 6, 9, 12. After 4 weeks there is $12. Saving is choosing not to spend now, to have more later.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: $3 a week for 4 weeks. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- One row a week
- Add the same each week
- The last row is the total
Helping at home
Read each problem aloud. Your kid makes a table, one row a week, and adds the same dollars each time. Ask what they would have if they spent it each week instead.
If your kid gets stuck
Make a table: one row a week.
