Fun with an Old Calendar
Posted on January 19th, 2010 by tutor1235
It’s January, so that means that most of us are getting new calendars. The old ones can be a great source of reading, writing and math fun, so don’t toss them. This is the ultimate in recycling!!
- Cut the numbers apart and have your child build math equations
- Cut the days of the week apart and put them in order
- Cut the month names out and put them in order
- Tell or write stories about the pictures
- Put the numbers in order
- Find the numbers you need to count by 2′s (or 3′s or 4′s…) to 30
- Do some calendar calculations-how many days between Christmas and Easter? How many weeks is that? How many months?
- Which month has the highest numbered Tuesday?
You get the picture. Now it’s your turn-what creative educational idea can you share with us that uses an old calendar??
