Teaching guide

What students learn

Find dates on a calendar and work out the number of days between events.

How to teach it

Use a real calendar to read the day of the week for a date, count on the days between two dates, and work out whole weeks and leftover days in a month.

Worked example
The 1st of the month is a Friday. What day of the week is the 8th?
Answer: Friday
Why: count on 7 days from Friday: (4 + 7) mod 7 = 4

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Forgetting months have different numbers of days, and miscounting across the end of a week.
