The Maths Trail is a way of developing numeracy across curriculum areas. It also can be amended to form a recap or revision activity which is kinaesthetic, engaging and more subject specific.
The teacher creates a range of resources/posters which are placed around the room (see example below). On each poster is a question and also an answer to a question posed on another sheet. Students can work individually or in groups and start with a poster of their choice. They record the answer and then have to find the poster with that answer on and complete that question set and so on. This can develop numeracy in any subject where statistics or data is used. It can also be used to create subject specific questions and answers and makes a great revision activity.

This works really well with a class, but if a longer trail is used it can be used with half a year group.
