1. I would use 'on' because a weekend is two days (or more). 'At' is more particular, for a smaller place or shorter time, whereas on/in are used for longer durations or larger spaces.

21 de oct. de 2015 · I will do my work over the weekend. I will do my work during the weekend. Neither "in the weekend" nor "at the weekend" sound correct. "On the weekend" sounds OK, more so if you're talking about multiple weekends. I do my work on weekends.
18 de nov. de 2012 · Her favorite time of the week is the weekend. The weekend is almost over! That last one could be modified a little, where we wouldn't need the word the: My weekend is almost over! but I still need a word in place of the article, to serve as a qualifier: No weekend is complete without a nap. When I use the plural, though, I don't need a leading ...
Immediately following, as in time, order, or sequence. Following this definition, "next weekend" will always mean the weekend with the start date in closes proximity in time.

So, for a week beginning on the 24th of a month: (1) 24th would be a Monday. The 29th and the 30th would be the "weekend". (2) The dates from 24 through 30 comprise the "week of the 24th".
29 de oct. de 2018 · 1. In answer to your first question there are two possible ways of talking about a plurality of weekends. "We will get the job finished by working weekends, for the rest of the year", and "We will get the job finished by working at the weekend, for the rest of the year" are saying exactly the same thing. Both are idiomatic.
28 de nov. de 2018 · What's the difference between "at this weekend" and "this weekend" when they are used in a sentence. How do we use them correctly? For example, can I say " I am going to visit my friends at this weekend." OR "I am going to visit my friends this weekend." Which one is correct? Is there any difference between them?
7 de may. de 2012 · For the weekend could mean most of the weekend and possibly the entire weekend, and over the weekend explicitly means the whole weekend — in this context. As @JeffSahol points out, in other contexts (e.g., I'll fix that over the weekend) it just means that by the time the weekend is over it will have happened.
2 de may. de 2017 · They do things "on" Saturday, and "on" Sunday, but NEVER "on" the weekend. They do things AT the weekend and OVER the weekend (seldom "during" the weekend). Excuse me.
