identify the date and determine the number of days between events using calendars

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using calendars to locate specific dates and identify what day it is, to determine the date \(2\) weeks prior to or after a given date
• creating a class calendar to enter specific dates relevant to the class; for example, students’ birthdays, school assemblies, sports carnivals or class excursions
• using addition and a calendar to model and solve the problem “How many days there are in left in this year?” by identifying the number days of left in this month and in each of the remaining months, and using addition to model and solve the problem
