A course for Early Years practitioners and mathematics subject leaders

Children can learn outdoors as effectively as they learn indoors, given the right provision. We can provide many opportunities for children to develop mathematical understanding outside. A mathematically enriched environment in the outdoor area can encourage problem solving, reasoning and numeracy.

On this course you will:

• consider the role of the adult in supporting children’s mathematical development
• explore a wide range of ideas for maths experiences outside
• think about developing outdoor role play scenarios which support maths development
• have an opportunity to consider your own outdoor provision and plan for the future
