Computing the number of days between two given dates
4th Maths : Term 3 Unit 4 : Time
Basic Concepts of Time
In one week there are 7 days. If one week over another one week begins.
If Sunday = 1, Monday = 2, Tuesday = 3, Wednesday = 4, Thursday = 5, Friday = 6, and Saturday = 7.
Think: If today is 6, What day was Yesterday, day before yesterday? and what will be tomorrow and day after tomorrow?
Finding the day in previous or upcoming week.
E.g. Day 14 denotes Saturday. Can you guess what is 21st day?
You have already learnt in the previous class, that how many weeks are there in a month and year.
Note: Two weeks make a fortnight, that is, 14 days make a fortnight.

Can you Compute the number of days between two given dates?
Computing the number of days between two given dates:
To compute days between two given dates, count the number of days in between the given dates. If month falls in between two dates, calculate the number of days in month.
Note: Generally, 1 month = 4 weeks
EXAMPLE
Calculate the number of days between Independence day and Gandhi Jayanthi day?
Solution:
Independence day = 15th August
Gandhi Jeyanthi = 2nd October
Note: In the August month we have 31 days, Independence day falls on 15th August, so, we have to subtract 15 from 31.
Try These
Christmas day = 25th December
Republic day = 26th January
Pongal = 14th January
May day = 1st May
Teacher’s day = 5th September
Children’s day = 14th Novemeber
