Reading a calendar
Each question shows a real month laid out as a calendar, with one date marked. The answer can only be found by reading the grid: counting days, following the weekday columns, or stepping a week at a time.
Four kinds of question come up: counting back from the marked date to today, finding the weekday a number of days later, finding the date of, say, the third Friday, and finding when a weekly club meets for the fourth time.
Numbers&Me is free. Sign up to practise more, or set it as homework in under a minute, and it marks itself.
