Remember: Money can have three jobs: save for later, spend now, give to others. Every family fills its jars its own way.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Mia's three jarsOn Mia's birthday she opened cards with pretend coins inside. She counted twelve coins. What should she do with them? Mia set three jars in a row. The first jar had a coin on it. It was the Save jar, for later. The second had a bag on it. It was the Spend jar, for now. The third had a gift on it. It was the Give jar, for other people. Mia put four coins in each jar. When she was hungry she took two coins out of the Spend jar for a snack, and two stayed. She used the Give jar to buy Gran a card. Another family might fill its jars in its own way, with no one right split.
