Adding Pennies to a Penny Jar

There are 8 pennies in the jar at the start. We add 5 pennies each round. After 1 round there are 13 pennies.

  • 1 How many pennies are in the jar after 2 rounds?

  • 2 How many pennies are in the jar after 4 rounds?

  • 3 How many pennies are in the jar after 6 rounds? How do you know?

  • 4 Use a picture, diagram, or table to represent this Penny Jar situation in the space below.

NOTE

Students have been working with these Penny Jar situations in class. They use what they know about the start amount and the repeated change to figure out the total number of pennies at a future point.
