This is a fantastic activity if you’re looking at measuring, averages, or calculations. Students will measure the rate of the flow of a river using sticks, a measured distance, a stop watch, and calculator (depending on the level of challenge you want to provide). Before starting the activity, get the students to estimate the rate of flow and record it on the sheets. Measure out a distance of 10 meters along the river and mark the start and end with something (a bag, cones, etc.). Get students to drop a stick into the water at the start of the 10 meters and time how long it takes for the stick to reach the end of the marked section, recording their results in the table. Get them to repeat this 4 times so that they have 4 results. Once they have a set of results they can figure out the averages before moving onto figure out the flow rate by either following the formulas or figuring them out for themselves. This pack contains two levels of differentiation. Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

This is a fun activity to experiment with measuring and units of measure. Children will find objects to measure in your outdoor space, however instead of using standard units of measure, they’ll create their own wonderful units of measure, for example, leaves. If they chose leaves as their units of measurement they’d use a leaf to measure the item and record their answers in the table. As an extension students can convert their ‘weird units’ to cm.

Rain is great fun and no reason to stop outdoor learning. This pack contains cross curricular resources and activities that you can do in the rain. So put those waterproofs on and enjoy the rain! This resource includes science, literacy, and math activities for ages 7 - 10. Activities included: Rain Description: Children will go outside and use adjectives, similes and metaphors to describe what they can see, hear, feel and touch. Rain poetry: Children will use their descriptions to write a poem about the rain. It’s great if they can do this outside using a whiteboard or scrap paper before writing it up in neat inside. Rain Gauge Investigation: For this investigation children will design and build their own rain gauge to record the amount of rainfall over a decided period of time. It’s good to give children the chance to experiment with their ideas, however you may need to give them some guidance. We find this investigation works best when done in teams of 3 or 4. You can use these teams to provide differentiation and support by using mixed ability groups. Once they’ve collected their rainfall data they can then answer some questions based on their results as well as input their results into a line graph. Puddle Size: This activity is all about measuring using diameters, radius, and perimeter. Children will find 5 puddles to measure, recording their results onto a line graph before answering some questions on their results. Vibrant Rain: This activity is all about the colors of nature. Children will find different colored natural items, crush them with stones, and use the colors to create some rain art. It’s best to print this activity sheet on card so that it does not get too soggy when using the damp natural resources to paint with.

This activity is all about measuring circumferences. Children will go outside and find 8 trees to measure the circumference of, recording their answers in the table. It’s good to discuss what the easiest way to measure the circumference of a tree trunk is, hopefully coming to the conclusion that using string is a quick and easy way to measure the circumference. You can either mark out length of string or get them to measure the string after each trunk measurement. Once they’ve recorded the circumference of 8 tree trunks they can then complete the differentiated question sheets. The second sheet has a focus on averages whereas the first sheet focuses on simple questions about the data they’ve collected. Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

Long jump subtraction is a fun and practical way for students to get loads of practice with subtraction using the column method while improving their measuring skills. For this outdoor math activity they will perform and measure two long jumps, either by themselves or with a partner and see the difference in distance between the jumps by using column subtraction. For this activity students need to understand how to use the column method for subtraction before taking part in the activity. **Teaching Method: ** Go through the column method for subtraction with the students. Explain that they will be going outside in partners to see how far they can jump and who can jump the furthest. Partner 1 jumps and partner 2 measures how far they’ve jumped. They then swap over and complete the jump before using column subtraction to see the difference in the distances they’ve jumped. This can be done multiple times for them to get lots of practice with column subtraction. This activity can be differentiated by getting students to measure to multiple decimal places.
