Magical Maths

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Magical Maths activity also includes:

A variety of activities take scholars outside the classroom to explore shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, sorting, and time in nature. Learners participate individually, and in teams, to measure found objects, go on a scavenger hunt, observe patterns, and identify and sort bugs. Then, extend the outdoor learning experience with multiple learning games.
