Introduce your little learners to the days of the week and months of the year with a self-checking interactive Calendar Maths Game.
Teach The Days of the Week With a Calendar Maths Game!
Whether you’re a few weeks into the school year or a few months in, it’s never the wrong time to build up your students’ conceptual understanding of time and how to use a calendar. It’s an everyday skill often bypassed in the busy early years classroom. This year, we encourage you to carve out a little time and pull in some direct instruction to help your first-years learn to use a calendar.
A Calendar Maths Game for Foundation and Year 1!
If you’re looking for a fun way to help your students locate the date and day of the week on a calendar, this is the resource for you! This interactive, self-checking Google Slides game is designed for Foundation and Year 1 students needing a bit of a refresher. It encourages students to use a calendar to find the following information.
- When given a specific date, students will identify the corresponding day of the week.
- When given a specific date, students will identify the day that comes next or the day that comes before the given date.
- Identify the number of days in a month, days in a week, etc.
