Teacher, do your students have access to computers?
Do you have "Laptops in Lessons"?

Whether your students each have a TabletPC or share a desktop PC, this activity lends itself to eLearning (Engaged Learning).

Students could use a spreadsheet to find the answers to these questions. Use the help menu in your spreadsheet and look up "dates" to discover how to do these calculations.
