What Is Outdoor Learning for Primary Maths?
This specialised outdoor learning training focuses on using outdoor spaces to teach key primary maths skills in a hands-on, experiential way.
Through our Let’s Learn programme, you’ll learn how to:

Outdoor learning helps bring maths to life—turning abstract concepts into real, tangible experiences.
Why Teach Maths Through Outdoor Learning?
Many children find maths challenging when it is taught in a purely abstract way. Outdoor learning provides opportunities to see, touch, and experience maths in real contexts, improving understanding and engagement.
This approach helps to:
- Increase engagement and motivation
- Improve understanding of mathematical concepts
- Support different learning styles
- Encourage problem-solving and reasoning
- Build confidence in maths
When children can move, explore, and interact, maths becomes more accessible and less intimidating.
