Taking Maths Outdoors with Raccoon Circles

Created by the co-author of Bloomsbury’s award winning National Curriculum Outdoors (2020) series of books and The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors (2024), this complete set of the ‘Taking Maths Outdoors’ second edition (2020) cards shows ways of taking Geometry, Measurement, Number activities and Statistics outdoors, with minimal resourcing and preparation with clear instructions for the activities linked to the 2014 National Curriculum Numeracy objectives by year group.
Simply use the ideas for a mental oral starter, plenary or even a whole maths lesson. All you will need to provide for the majority of the activities is a 15m length of tubular webbing. 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 space is available.
Hard copies, printed on water resistant card, together with a carry bag and length of tubular webbing are also available to purchase from the Taking Maths Outdoors website.
