About this course
School grounds are ideal environments for teaching mathematical skills. From calculating the perimeter of your outdoor space to exploring symmetry by examining leaves, pupils are constantly required to estimate, measure, calculate, collect, recognise patterns, and more whilst working outdoors.
Although some outdoor environments are more suited to specific maths lessons than others, it is important to remember that all outdoor spaces can have value for learning. Involving pupils in a wide range of meaningful experiences helps to support mathematical understanding – and this is far more important than the the space they use.
Taking Maths Outdoors: Primary will introduce you to new ideas, research, and practice to help develop your confidence in an outdoor learning setting. During this online course, you will:
- Develop your knowledge on establishing routines, behaviour for learning, and useful kit to support your outdoor lessons
- Reflect on ideas for teaching children maths through outdoor learning and contextualised real world experiences
- Increase your understanding on how maths can be taken outdoors in any space; including the school grounds and a local walk to green spaces
