Math Trick to Remember Days in a Month

By the way, if children have trouble with how many days are in the month, they can use the "fist method." Make a fist, point to the first knuckle, and say January, point to the space between knuckles and say February, point to the next knuckle and say March, and so on. The rule is, if you touch the knuckle there are 31 days in the month, if it is the space, there are 30 days except for February. - Teacher
Answer: Thanks for the cute way to remember how many days are in each month. To make this work, don't use your thumbs. Make a fist, say January for the first knuckle. The space is February and so on. The knuckles indicate months with 31 days, and the spaces indicate 30 except for February. Try this, parents, and then teach the trick to your children.
