How it works
Maya wanted a bike that cost 12 pretend coins, and she had none yet. Big things take time.
She put a few coins in a jar each week. More coins a week means fewer weeks.
A treat along the way is okay. It only moves the day a little later.
Saving a little each week gets you there. More coins a week means fewer weeks.

These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
3 weeks. 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
2 weeks. 6 + 6 = 12.
Later. A treat uses coins, so the bike comes a week later.
Ask a grown-up what you can save up for in your own rewards list.
These are pretend coins. Help your child pick one small goal and work out how many weeks it would take at 1, 2 and 3 coins a week. The Mission asks them to find something to save for in their own rewards list.
