Published by patrick honner on

My latest contribution to the New York Times Learning Network is a collection of teaching and learning ideas that use the New York Times to explore leap year and other calendar oddities.

The activities include day-of-the-week calculations, alternate calendar conventions, days and years on other planets, and reflections on the value of one extra day.

In short, there are plenty of ways to make the most of this quadrennial event!
