Are You Money Savvy?                                       
Save an extra __________________ this year!

Here is an easy way to bank extra savings.  Add $1 to your savings account this week.  Next week, add $2, and continue to increase the amount by a dollar over the next 52 weeks.  The most you will ever put in is $52, but you'll gain more than _______________ by doing it.

1.  What is the total amount of money (without interest) that you will save over 52 weeks?
2.  What is the fastest way to figure out the problem and what might be the slowest way to figure out the problem?
3.  If you changed the savings amount to pennies how much money would you save?  What about dimes?  What about toonies?
Show me the math!(Hand in your answer.)

I am going to try this - anyone else?  Would you purchase anything special with the money saved or would you keep on saving? (Post your answer.)
