Introduction
The unit 'Geography and numbers' showed # how geographical enquiry can provide a meaningful context for the learning and reinforcement of many aspects of the framework for teaching mathematics. Links were made with the following areas across both key stages: solving problems, measures, shape and space, and handling data. The mathematical demands made in geography units were matched with #'s attainment in mathematics. ^ discovered it was helpful to use geography to reinforce particular skills of mathematics soon after they have been developed in mathematics.
