Remember: Saving a little each week gets you there. More coins a week means fewer weeks, and a treat only moves the day a little later.

Maya saves for a bikeMaya's old bike was so small that her knees bumped the handlebars. The new bike in the shop cost twelve pretend coins, and Maya had none. Grandma said, "Big things take time. Let's make a plan." Maya wrote "Bike, twelve coins" in a notebook and set a jar on her shelf. She decided to save three coins every week. In week two she spent two coins on a treat. By week four the jar still did not have enough. In week five it did, so she bought the bike. The treat only moved the day one week later.
