Equipment and Materials: chalk, chalkboard, flash cards, almanac/ calendar, lap top, speakers
Teaching Strategies: Manipulation
Visual Demonstration

Discussion

Questioning

Quizzing

Induction:
Students view a brief video about the months of the year. Discussion ensues about the video.

Learning Activity
Flashcards with the twelve months of the year are placed on the chalkboard and two selected students are asked
to arrange them in the correct order cooperatively.

Encouragement and praises from the class are given to all student participants for the activity during the
activity. When the task is completed, students are asked to read the list of months presented.
The students are questioned about the group/collective names associated with the list of months arranged on the
chalkboard and their answers are written on the chalkboard. (calendar, almanac). It is explained that all these
terms are associated in Mathematics with specific spans of time. Different types of calendars are placed on the
students tables ( cellphone calendar, phone book calendar, almanacs, Chefette purse sized calendar) and they
peruse them for a few minutes. Discussion about what common details ( dates, numbers, ordinals, days of week,
year, special dates, moons) they observe about the calendars ensues and the definition of the term calendar is
illicited from them. A calendar is type of chart used to keep track of days of each week and month of the
year.
Students are asked to view their calendars again and questions about the number of days observed in each
month ensue.

How many months have 30 days?

What are the names of those months?

Name the months with 31 days?

Is there any month noted to have a different number of days?

What is the name of that month?

How many days are in that particular month for this year?

Why the month only has 28/29 days?

The term leap year is introduced into classroom discussion and students are questioned about how we can
recognize a leap year. A leap year is a year that can be divided evenly by four.
A brief demonstration using the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 is completed on the chalkboard with
student assistance. It is demonstrated that 2016 is the next leap year and that in 2016, the month
of February will have an additional day thus having 29 days instead of 28 days. Students listen to
the poem Thirty days hath September on the laptop and are encouraged to recite it along while
it is viewed. Headed columns of 28/29 days, 30 days and 31 days are placed on the board.
Students are selected to place the months with the particular amounts of days under the correct
columns. They are encouraged to recite the poem while completing this task.

Conclusion
Students are encouraged to share their opinion and experiences with special dates or event dates and days like
birthdays that are special to them. A brief quizz follows to review the information written on the chalk board.
Additional information such as 24 hours spans one day, 7 days spans one week, normally 4 weeks makes up a
month however there are exceptions, 12 months makes a year, 365 days is in a year, ten years a decade and
finally 100 years a century is also shared with the students.
Assessment
Students draw and label the dates for the calendar month of April.
Evaluation

Follow up Activity
Students create a classroom calendar for the months of April and May to manipulate worded
problems in future lessons.
