Calculate distances, areas and perimeters.
Calculating Area: Determining the area of a land feature is essential for understanding its size and extent. For example, calculating the area of a farm field helps determine how much land is available for cultivation, or calculating the area of a country helps with resource allocation.

Calculating Perimeter: Perimeter is used when determining the boundary of a feature, like a country's border. It can be important for understanding the shape and size of a geographic area, as well as for calculating things like fencing or surveying.
Data Collection: Collect data related to geographical topics like population, climate, or rainfall. For example, the annual RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch provides a great opportunity for data collection and analysis.
Statistics: Use statistics to understand and compare different geographical regions or aspects of a region. For instance, ana

Statistics: Use statistics to understand and compare different geographical regions or aspects of a region. For instance, analyze UK county statistics for population density, area or rainfall.
Use active learning techniques, such as physical activities like measuring the perimeter of the school grounds, using trundle wheels and measuring tapes to engage students and make learning more memorable.
