Meaningful Maths Trails

A very useful article for anyone using (or creating) a maths trail.

Avril Crack (nrich.maths.org) explores the learning potential Maths Trails offers learners of all ages. Trails can provide a clear context for learning; and their scope is endless, since they can be adjusted to fit within almost any theme or cross-curricula topic.

Thought

"If we want children to engage in meaningful learning experiences that are fully connected to their real lives, we need to make education relevant. Using the outdoor environment as a 'learning space', we can offer all children educational opportunities far more interesting than a worksheet or textbook within the four walls of a classroom."
