     Let's see how number sequence can help us with the calendar!

 In the July calendar above we see how number sequence can help us decide what number comes next on our calendar.  Calendars don't really start with a 0 but for the number sequence lesson we will show a 0.  The part of the calendar below shows the number sequence 0-9.

If we know the number sequence we can predict that the number after 9 will be 10.  We will see how after we have placed a 1 in the ten's place we will begin to see the repeating of the sequence of numbers. We should see a 1 and a 0.  The next number will repeat a 1 in the 10's place and we will see the repeat of the 1 in the 1's place.  As we read the calendar below we will read 1-0  (read as one-zero and so on), 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9.  As children read these numbers they will hear the repeating of the basic 0-9 number sequence and as ability develops the children will also notice the continuation of number sequence in the 10's place.
