This practical outdoor maths activity helps pupils build confidence with decimals, place value, and measuring mass. Children collect natural objects, weigh them using scales, and record measurements to one and two decimal places. They then compare, order, and place values on a number line to deepen understanding.
The lesson is low-prep and easy to run in a playground, field, or outdoor area, making it ideal for active learning and real-world maths.
- Learning focus:
Measuring mass using scales
Reading and recording decimals (1 dp and 2 dp)
