Measurement

The calendar

Name the days and months in order, and count days on a calendar.

A week has 7 days and a year has 12 months. A calendar puts them all in order for you.

Most months have 30 or 31 days. February is the odd one out with 28 — and in a leap year it gets 29.

Worked example

  1. One week is 7 days.

    Every week is the same length.
