Created by the co-author of Bloomsbury’s award winning National Curriculum Outdoors series of books and The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors (2024).
This is the essential introductory card set for the Taking Maths Outdoors (TMO) cards.
Based on ‘Raccoon Circles’, it introduces the techniques which are used throughout the TMO sets, which provide practical and fun teamwork activities to support Geometry, Measurement, Number activities and Statistics.
The cards have clear instructions for the activities linked to NC 2014 Numeracy objectives by year group. If printed double sided, the objectives covered by the tasks are on the front, with the tasks and activities explained on the back. The cards are grouped by mathematical areas.
Simply use the ideas for a mental oral starter, plenary or even a whole maths lesson. The activities can be done in small focus groups, or as a whole class and although they are designed for the outdoors and need space, they can be done where ever space is available.
Low preparation and resourcing, all you will need is an 8m or 15m length of tubular webbing tape.
The ideas are easily adapted, and before long you (and your class) will be able to use the techniques and invent new activities to make maths memorable!
Links to the Raccoon Circles (Team work and Team Play) website are included. If you like the ideas go to the website to download a free pdf of Raccoon Circles games and team building activities.
