Mathematics

Click below for lesson ideas under each strand. I have learned many of my math (and Language Arts) ideas from Dr. Rachel Tidd's book

Wild Learning. Please turn to that book for practical ideas of how to take your students outside! As well please follow Rachel on Instragram @discoverwildlearning. And check out her website WildLearning. On her web page you can purchase curriculum guides full of lesson plan ideas!

I would overwhelm you and this site with all the full lesson plans and curriculum you could do outside, so in each link below I will give you ideas for the strands at various grade levels. Each idea is based on Nova Scotia curriculum documents and inspiration from the many mentors I have gathered along my outdoor education journey. With these ideas you can adapt and create a lesson for your grade level. If you design a lesson and want to share for this site please email me at educationoutdoors@hotmail.com.
