In order to calculate a date it is helpful to do a series of chants where you start with a number and count by sevens. That way you can just know what the first day of a month is and do a quick calculation for any date that month. Our exercise today is to practice these seven sequences. Say them out loud a few times, preferably with no one in the room who might commit you to your local mental health screening center.
One eight fifteen twenty two twenty nine
Two nine sixteen twenty three thirty
Three ten seventeen twenty four thirty one
Four eleven eighteen twenty five
Five twelve nineteen twenty six
Six thirteen twenty twenty seven
Seven fourteen twenty one twenty eight
If you practice these sequences you will quickly be able to calculate any date just by knowing the day of the week the first day of that month occurred. Tomorrow we will combine the month and day exercises to know the first date of all months for this year.
