Grade 3 · The Choosing Year · Week 18

A Little Every Time

The same small amount, again, for longer than seems worth it. That is the whole method.

This game goes with week 18 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

The challenge

You save $2 a week for a year and spend $30 of it halfway through.
