Maths-Daily	Add Tuesday/Rātu to your Days of the Week Paper chain. Today we are going to use a calendar to tell days of the week. Teaching Sequence 1. You will need a copy of the calendar for the current month. Can you point to today? It’s the 21st April. 2. Can you point to the start of the week? 3. Can you point to the start of the month and the end of the month? 4. How many days are there in April? How many Mondays? 5. Read or get someone to read to you the problem for today. Problem:Ana is going to see her Grandma in 6 days from now. What is today's date? What date will she see her Grandma? Share solutions with someone in your family. Here are some other problems to solve if you want to. Ana has just returned from spending 8 days with her Grandma. What is the date and day now? Grandma is coming to stay in 5 weeks from today. When will she arrive? Solution The question can be answered by using arithmetic applied to the dates or by using a calendar. For example : adding 6 to 23 gives the answer as the 29th April. Equivalently the students can count on 6 from 23rd April on a calendar to find the same answer.
