This Wild Math Guide is everything you need to teach First Grade math outdoors! This curriculum guide covers ALL the typical math skills taught in First Grade. This enables you to have peace of mind that your child is learning the skills needed for their grade level but without using math without workbooks or expensive curriculum.  Under each skill, there are multiple ideas of how to learn and practice them outside!  I also include math picture books and tabletop games recommendations to further support your child's math learning. 
Learning outdoors has been proven to increase engagement when learning math. It also is hands-on and relates to real life in a way a textbook cannot. Teach your child in a classroom without walls!
This math guide is packed with ideas, games, materials to encourage math play and color photos on how to use what is naturally abundant in your area to learn math! Use pinecones, rocks or seashells to learn addition and subtraction! Play games with lawn dice and a giant 100 chart. Experiment with a variety of containers to learn about volume and capacity in the mud kitchen.  Use bundles of sticks to learn place value! Multiple ideas for activities are given for each skill. Suggested materials and gear for learning outside are included. As well as tips for families learning math outside in more urban areas.
