This 'continuous' unit aims to show how geographical enquiry can provide a meaningful context for the teaching and reinforcement of many aspects of the framework for teaching mathematics. Links are made with the following areas across both key stages: solving problems, measures, shape and space, and handling data. The unit has been developed so that the activities link to other units in the scheme of work; for example, the work on using a compass and measuring distance can be linked to Unit 13 'A contrasting UK locality: Llandudno'. The activities in this unit are therefore designed for use within other geography units.
The mathematical demands made in geography units should be commensurate with children's attainment in mathematics. It is helpful to use geography to reinforce particular skills of mathematics soon after they have been developed in mathematics.
