What is Savings Goal Tracker?
Savings Goal Tracker is an educational game that combines math practice with financial literacy. Players set a savings target and earn virtual money by correctly answering math questions. A visually engaging jar fills with coins as savings grow, providing tangible feedback on progress toward the goal. The game teaches two important lessons simultaneously: math skills through money-themed questions, and the concept of saving toward a goal through delayed gratification — you can see your jar filling up but must keep working to reach your target.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I get an answer wrong?
Wrong answers break your streak multiplier and reset it to 1×, but you don't lose any money already saved. You simply don't earn the reward for that round. This design teaches resilience — setbacks slow progress but don't erase it.
How do streak bonuses work?
Answer 3 questions correctly in a row to earn a 2× multiplier on rewards. Get 5 in a row for a 3× multiplier! One wrong answer resets your streak back to 1×.
What kinds of math questions are there?
Easy: addition, subtraction, and coin values (e.g., '3 quarters = ?¢'). Medium: multiplication, larger sums, and multi-step problems. Hard: percentages, discounts, and making change from purchases.
How is the 'best' score determined?
The game tracks the fewest rounds needed to reach each goal at each difficulty. A lower number is better — it means you answered more questions correctly (avoiding streak-breaking wrong answers).
What age group is this game for?
Easy mode is suitable for grades 2–3 (ages 7–8). Medium works well for grades 3–5. Hard mode challenges grades 5–7 with percentage and discount calculations.
Can I overshoot my savings goal?
Yes! If your final correct answer earns more than you need, you'll end up with more than the goal amount. The jar fills to 100% and the game celebrates your achievement.
