    Default Enhancing outside maths

    Members of our sister group - the Independent Childminders Facebook group - contributed to a thread which I have collated into a blog about enhancing outside maths.

    We hope you find it useful

    Thank you Sarah - I find it hard to record Maths that we do outside either in the garden, at the park or out on a walk - we all do spontaneous counting songs eg: 5 little ducks, when feeding the ducks - count the footsteps back to the car when the little ones are tired to give them something else to focus on and look out for numbers on house doors but because these things aren't planned, they just "happen" and it's hard to remember whether A missed out 15 or 16 when counting or B could identify a 5 but C could identify a 6 - do you have any suggestions on how we can record outdoor observations.
