Maths and fitness

As any teacher in any school anywhere in the world will tell you; there's just so much to fit into an expanding curriculum. As our children become less active, teachers have to find more innovative ways to fit in physical activity into the day. 

Today, as we went out for daily fitness, I decided not to cut short our maths plenary and printed off the maths questions I wanted the kids to answer to check their learning progress. 

I simply clipped up the printed sheets and had kids do relays to the end of our tennis court, attempt one of the questions and then run back to their team and tag the next person.

It's not something we could do everyday, but it was an easy solution to finding enough time in today.
