Year 8 If you are 11 years old it means that you have lived for 11 complete years and are now in your 12th year. A newborn baby is 0 years old but is living in its first year. ‘
To work out centuries you do the same… • Take the first 2 digits of a date • eg: 1945 (1st 2 digits are 19) • ADD 1 : (So 19 + 1 is 20) • So 1945 is in the 20th Century Year 8 • In a date with only 3 digits • eg: 945 AD • Use the first digit (eg 9) • ADD 1 : (So 9 + 1 is 10) • So 945 AD is in the 10th Century
1321 is in the 14th century Year 8 1321 13 + 1 = 14 So 1321 is in the 14th Century
800 is in the 9th century Year 8 800 8 + 1 = 9 So 800AD is in the 9th Century
