                      GREEN                       flower planting programme.
                            EARTH                 1 February 2020 to 8 March 2020 =               days

                               Let’s use the                                              1
                                calendar to          1 February to 29 February           29 days
                               calculate the                 1 March to 8 March         + 8 days
                             duration in days.
                                                                       Total days        37 days

                                              1 February 2020 to 8 March 2020 =  37  days

                                           The duration of the flower planting programme
                                           is 37 days.








                  In leap year, February has                •  January, March, May, July, August,
                  29 days. The total days in the              October, and December has 31 days
                  leap year will be 366 days                  each.
                  and it will only occur once               •  April, June, September, and November
                  every 4 years.                              has 30 days each.
                                                            •  February (regular year) has 28 days.
                                                            •  February (leap year) has 29 days.




                               What is the duration, in days, if the same campaign
                                       was held on the same date in 2019?

                                     • Carry out simulation activities using calendars, timelines, and
             124                       diagrams to calculate the duration in days.
                             4.1.1 (ii)  • Discuss how to determine the leap year by dividing the year by 4
                                       without remainder. For example, 2020 ÷ 4 = 505.
