Hanukkah started last Wednesday and lasts for eight days. Families gather together to light a candle on a Menorah and traditionally give children a gift each night. On the first day Josh received a quarter. On the second day his gift was two quarters.  On the third day he received three quarters.  If this pattern continues, how much money did Josh get altogether when Hanukkah ended?

For 4th and 5th graders: Suppose Josh received one quarter, one dime, one nickel, and one penny the first day and two of each coin the second day.  If this same pattern continues how much money did Josh get altogether when Hanukkah ended?
