If the directions say: escribe la fecha usando marcas para llevar la cuenta, does that just mean using marks to keep track of the date?

Question

I've figured out that "Escribe la fecha usando" means write the date using, but I'm not sure if "marcas para llevar la cuenta" means marks to keep track of. What do you think the exercise is intending?

Answer 1

It sounds like you are supposed to write the date using marks to keep track of the ones you've done. Does that make sense in context?
