How it works
If we want something big, we can save a coin at a time.
Saving is putting coins away for something big.
First we wish, then we save, then we buy.
Worked examples
Wish
- Pip sees a kite and wants it.
- The kite costs more than Pip's one coin.
- Pip cannot just take it, because we pay in a shop.
Save
- Pip finds the biggest jar in the house.
- Each day, Pip puts a coin in the jar, plink!
- A friend offers sweets, and Pip says no thank you and keeps saving.
Buy
- At last the jar is full to the top.
- Pip pours the coins out for the kite seller.
- The seller says, that is enough, and the kite is Pip's.
