Let’s go step by step to answer each question using the April 2018 calendar.
First, look at the calendar:
- The days of the week are labeled across the top: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
- The dates are filled in for April 2018. Some dates are in red — those are Saturdays and Sundays (weekends).
- We can count or locate any date by finding its row and column.

Question 1: What day is April 8?
Look at the calendar. Find the number “8”. It’s in the second row, last column. The columns go from Sunday to Saturday. So the last column is
Saturday.
✔ April 8 is a
Saturday.

Question 2: What is the day after April 14?
Find April 14 on the calendar. It’s in the third row, sixth column (Friday). The next day is April 15, which is right next to it — seventh column →
Saturday.
✔ The day after April 14 is
April 15, which is a
Saturday.
But the question asks “What is the day after April 14?” — meaning what *day of the week*? So we say:
Saturday.

Question 3: How many Sundays are there in April?
Sundays are in the first column (leftmost). Look down that column:
- April 1 → Sunday
- April 8 → Sunday
- April 15 → Sunday
- April 22 → Sunday
- April 29 → Sunday
That’s 5 Sundays.
✔ There are
5 Sundays in April 2018.

Question 4: What day is the last day of April?
April has 30 days. Find “30” on the calendar. It’s in the bottom left corner — first column →
Sunday.
✔ The last day of April (April 30) is a
Sunday.

Question 5: How many days are there in April?
This is easy — all months have fixed numbers of days. April always has
30 days. You can also count the boxes in the calendar — they go from 1 to 30.
✔ There are
