They order the seven days and twelve months, find events by date and weekday, construct a month from a stated starting day and month length, and count forward to determine the days between dates. The unit also develops reasoning with one-week and two-week offsets, changing month lengths and leap years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editable teaching presentation supports whole-class modelling and guided questions. The paired question-and-answer quiz provides immediate feedback. Colour classroom resources, Calendar Detectives and the Build-a-Month game add visual and hands-on practice.
