Saving goals — Money maths for kids

The method

Goal ÷ weekly saving — “divide what you still need by what you save each week; round up”

1. Still needed = goal price − money you already have.
2. Weeks = still needed ÷ saving each week. A remainder means one more week (round up).
3. Saving each week = goal ÷ number of weeks.

Use it for: Saving pocket money for something special, and goal-setting in financial literacy lessons.

Worked example: Aarav wants a cricket bat that costs ₹750, has ₹150 already and saves ₹80 every week. In how many weeks will Aarav have enough? → 8
