Calendar Math: Practice Math With February's Calendar

How many Sundays are in February? Which dates have 5 in the ones place? What day of the week is the 14th?

Reading calendars and understanding how they work is an important life skill. As adults, we have spent years writing on calendars or in planners so that we go to appointments on the correct day. Why not teach your learner to keep track of his or her schedule now? 

Upon enrolling in this class I will provide a blank February calendar for you to print. Your learner will need to have it during class so that we can fill it out together.

After introducing ourselves we will dive into learning about the calendar! We will talk about February, its season, holidays, birthdays, and anything else our learners would like to share about this month. Next, we will fill in the days of the week and dates, noting that some cultures begin a week on Sunday and others Monday. Then, we will practice math skills, such as computation, odd/even numbers, and problem solving -- all using our calendars! We will support each other to answer the questions if needed, and I am always willing to have my learners "become" the teacher and ask questions for classmates and me to answer too.

This class will be offered every month, so feel free to sign up for particular months or every month of the year! While the format will be consistent from month to month, I will have different questions prepared to help your child dig deeper into calendars and math with each class.
