(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Friday is the last school day for many children. Celebrate with a little happy dance.

In KS1 Maths, children learn the seven days in sequence and use yesterday, today, and tomorrow to talk about events. Pupils sort weekdays and weekends, and read simple calendars and timetables.

  • Week: Seven days in order, usually Monday to Sunday in school.
  • Weekend: Saturday and Sunday, when most schools are closed.
  • Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow: The day before, the day now, and the next day.

Warm up first: play the Numeracy Game to practise ordering before you start the quiz.

What are the days of the week in order?

The days in order are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Learn to say and read them from first to last.

Does the week start on Monday or Sunday in KS1?

In UK schools and the KS1 curriculum, weeks are usually taught from Monday to Sunday. Weekend days are Saturday and Sunday.

How can my child remember the days of the week?

Use a calendar and daily routine: say today’s day each morning, mark school days and weekends, and sing simple “days of the week” songs.
