A plan to save

What this lesson shows

A $24 goal, saving $4 a week: 6 weeks. Write the plan, then sort choices into earning, spending, saving, borrowing, and giving.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: save $24 at $4 a week. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Count up a week at a time
  2. Check: weeks × each week = goal
  3. Earn, spend, save, borrow, give

Helping at home

Read each goal aloud. Your kid counts up by the amount saved each week until reaching the goal, then checks with multiplication. Then sort the choice together.

If your kid gets stuck

Count up a week at a time.
