CONTENT CONCEPTS
Notes:
• Time can also be measured and it is measured in units such as years, months,
weeks, days, hours, minutes, and hence seconds.
When it comes to measuring time in days, weeks, months, and years we use an organized
chart called a “Calendar”.
• Calendars make our lives easier as they are easy to read and understand.
Moreover, calendars are not just confined to charts or books but they can also be printed
on sheets or can be viewed on mobile phones or laptops, or tablets irrespective of time
and place.
Calendars are undoubtedly useful and a necessity for everyone, especially kids who can find
them easy to read. With the help of a calendar, kids can keep track of the number of days
there are in each month or how many holidays they have this year. or when their best friend’s
birthday will be celebrated? or to find the date and day of the game night of their favorite
football team.
