I recently enjoyed a day with a group of Spanish teachers from Catalonia looking at Maths in the Outdoors, including a trip to the beach. They were over in England finding out about Maths teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools. It was good hear that both the primary and secondary schools represented were already committed to outdoor learning in maths as a way of giving their students the opportunity to apply their learning in ‘real life’ situations. My thanks to Ian Blackwell for giving me the opportunity to work with him on this project.
