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?
