How to use it
- Tap a picture for what you are saving for, and how much it costs.
- Tap + $1, + $5 or + $10 when you put money aside. The jar fills.
- Say how much you add each week to see how many weeks are left.
Ideas for class
- Set a goal that takes four weeks, so a child sees it finish.
- Compare two goals: which takes longer at $5 a week?
- Practice percent: the jar is 50% full when half of the cost is saved.
- Ask what they could do to save a bit faster.
- Count a real jar and match it to the picture each week.

Questions
Does it hold real money?
No. It is a picture jar and a way to keep count. The real money stays with a grown-up or in a real jar.
Why can't I type the goal?
So no name or private detail ever goes into a tool. The picture and its word are the goal.
Is anything sent?
No. The goal and amounts are saved in this browser only, and “Start over” clears them.
