planned savings: Money set aside on purpose, for college, retirement or emergencies.

estimator: A table of pretend monthly costs for a family in a made-up city.

Common mistakes

Your child added all but one of the parts, so the total came out too small.

Your child gave the part in dollars, but the question asked for its percent of the total.

What to say

Ask: how many parts are in the table, and did you add every one?

Ask: how many dollars is that for every $100 of the budget?
