A Backwards Day

A Backwards Day

A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same backwards and forwards, like toot and racecar. Can you think of any others? It turns out numbers can do the same thing — like today’s date! Today is written as 4/24/24, which means the 24th day of the 4th month. In fact, we’re in a whole stretch of palindrome days that will last through 4/29/24. Don’t forget, 4/2/24 and 4/20/24, 4/21/24, 4/22/24 and 4/23/24  were palindromes, too! Let’s see how often these cool dates happen.

Read the story. Talk through the numbers. Kids do best when you do the math together!
