These short, simple activities are designed to help you take maths learning outside — no extra prep or special equipment needed. Each one takes just 5–10 minutes and can be used:
as a starter activity to energise your class before a longer maths lesson, as a transition activity between subjects, or as a quick outdoor break to boost focus and movement.
You can:
Print the cards and let children draw one at random to surprise the class with their next activity.
Or, print this guide and keep it handy as a teacher reference sheet for spontaneous outdoor sessions.
