Outdoor learning is not just about taking what we do indoors and moving
it out through the door of our setting. It involves equipment and
experiences which are both unique and exciting. When planning for maths
provision practitioners need to make sure they offer access to these
amazing opportunities for learning and integrate them into children's
ongoing play and exploration of their natural world.
Designed to be used as a dip in dip out collection of easy to use ideas
the author has tried to show how exciting outdoor learning can be
developed on even the very smallest of budgets.
As with all areas of early learning the author acknowledges the way that
maths is integrated within play based exploration and linked to many
other areas of learning. Offering ways to develop your existing
provision as well as building new resources you will enjoy exploring all
areas of early maths including number, pattern, shape and measuring.
