Here are some ideas for maths when you are out and about or at home.

• Spotting patterns - red brick, blue brick  /  odd numbered houses
• Spotting shapes - floor tiles / windows 
• Baking - weighing and measuring
• Playing board and dice games like snake and ladders - counting
• Card games 
• Dominoes - recognising numbers without counting e.g. the five pattern
• Using a stop watch or a timer for running, skipping etc.
• Using rulers and tape measure - How far can you jump?  Can you make a tower that is 70cm high?
• Sorting objects into groups  
• Supermarket label spotting - Can you find something that is a litre?  weighs 500g?
