- Finding the day of the week
If the day of a particular date is given, then the day of a later date can be found out.
For this purpose the total number of days of the particular period is to be calculated
first.
Eg. : If November 15,2003 falls on Saturday, find the day of December 31 of the same
year.
Month Number of days
November - Rest of the days 15
December - Prior to 31st 30
Total = 45 days
= 6 weeks + 3 days
Therefore the required day is 4 (3+1) days after Saturday, that is Wednesday.
Hence, December 31st of 2003 is Wednesday.
The idea may be taught orally to the child, and repeated exercise may develop his/her
mental memory in performing this task.
