Days and Months

Days and Months in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics

The days of the week and months of the year repeat in a fixed order. Grade 1 learners say them in order, fill in the missing ones, use words such as yesterday, today and tomorrow, and read a month calendar.

PYP learning is inquiry-based, so every worksheet here is short, colourful and playful, with a friendly animal guide and a teacher answer key on page 2.

For students

Read each instruction carefully, try every question and colour the animal when you finish.

For parents

Print on A4, read the instructions aloud together and let your child work alone before you check.

For teachers

Use a worksheet as a starter, homework or exit ticket. Each one has a name, class and date box and an answer key.

Teaching tip

Sing the days and months together and tick off each day on a wall calendar. Repetition and rhythm make the order stick.

Quick answers

How many days are in a week?

Seven: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

How do calendars help learning?
