Students solve calendar problems.  In this calendar math lesson, students use a calendar and find the answers to problems based on calendar information. students 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.

This lesson has learners 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.

5th 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. 5th graders independently complete two worksheets.

In this lesson students count and name the numbers and days on the calendar in order to determine the date.
