Frequently asked questions
Do active maths: sport and the outdoors count for CAS?
They can. The activity strand is about the exercise, not the maths. Use the numbers to plan and track, but make sure the experience itself gets you moving regularly. Your CAS coordinator decides what counts at your school.
Can I use one of these ideas as it is?
Use it as a starting point. Shape it around a real need or interest at your school or in your community, plan it with others where you can, and agree it with your CAS coordinator before you start.
