Time and timetables
Calendars Let’s Learn Together
Leon is looking at his calendar. It is 1 January 2018. His uncle arrives on 23 March. How many days until Leon’s uncle arrives? Let’s draw a timeline of the problem.
1 January
1 February
23 days 1 March 23 March
31 days
28 days
We can see that the duration of days from 1 January to 23 March is: 31 days + 28 days + 23 days 31 + 28 + 23 = 82 So, Leon’s uncle will arrive in 82 days. Let’s Practise
Use the calendar to help you answer the questions. (a) Today is 23 October. Winston has
planted some bulbs that should start to show in four weeks. On what date should Winston see his plants?
(b) Letisha’s auntie is visiting on 19 June, which is 2 weeks and 2 days from today. What is today’s date?
