Pocket
Money Problem
This idea was sent in by Sash Hamidi.
|
Do
you get pocket money? Would you like to have some, or maybe more? Try
this proposition on the person who gives you your pocket money:
I am really
not asking for a lot. I'll only want 1 pence a week to start with,
but then my pocket money will need to be doubled every week! |
TASKS:
Answer these questions:
-
Did
they accept this proposition at first?
-
On
the back of this sheet, show how much money you would get in week
2, then week 3 and so on - create a table to show your results.
-
In
which week did you need to start to use a calculator?
-
If
week 1 was the first week of 1999 (starting saturday 2nd january),
by when would you earn: a) £100 b) £500 c) £1000
-
If
it carried on throughout your life, would you ever earn £1,000,000?
At what age?
-
When
would your parent/ guardian say "S T O P !"?
