Calendar Lesson Plans

Students engage in a lesson that is about counting forward with the help of a calendar. They count each day and add one more until reaching the number 30. Students coincide the number with a day and recognize the right number.

Young scholars solve calendar problems.  In this calendar math activity, students use a calendar and find the answers to problems based on calendar information. young scholars receive a resource worksheet and complete a question sheet.

Students watch their teacher perform the calendar trick. In this algebra lesson, students pay attention as the teacher explains the calendar trick and then get into small groups and perform the trick themselves. They solve the equations formed using the inverse.

Fourth graders listen as the teacher describes equivalent measurements for using a calendar. They observe an easy way to remember which months have 31 days using their fists and knuckles. They practice calendar math problems by completing the Student Practice worksheet.

Fifth graders identify and use equivalent measurements that relate to calendar activities. They develop a list of calendar equivalent measurements, and demonstrate a finger activity to remember which months have thirty-one days. Students independently complete two worksheets.

Students count and name the numbers and days on the calendar in order to determine the date. They identify the month and the entire date, and determine the pattern shown on the calendar markers. Students then calculate how many days they have been in school so far that year.

Students scale the evolution of the universe to a one year calendar, with the Big Bang occuring on the first moment of January 1st. They estimate where on this one year time line significant events in Earth's history should be placed.

Students participate with a fun mathematical puzzle to play with their friends.They take any calendar and tell their friend to choose 4 days that form a square like the four below.

Help third graders master math vocuabulary!
