Small things grow big with time, and each year's growth is bigger.
Small things can grow big, if they get enough time. An acorn can become a giant oak.
In this made-up coin garden, every year adds one new coin for every two coins in it.
Maya planted eight coins. Year one added 4, year two added 6 and year three added 9.
Each year brought more new coins than the year before, because the new coins help to grow more coins.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
6. One new coin for every two, and half of 12 is 6.
27. 18 + 9 = 27.
Year three. Year three brings 9 new coins and year one brings 4.
The new coins help to grow more coins. Every coin counts, the old ones and the new ones.
With a grown-up, find a tree near you, guess how many years it took to grow, and ask what they know.
This garden is pretend, and the credits your child earns in the app do not grow by waiting: they are earned by doing the work. Talk about something real that grows with time: a plant, a skill, a friendship.
