Assessing your embedding of rich tasks into the curriculum: Thinking about what to do next

Build on your experiences, adding in new material and trying it out. Using the mapping documents can ensure a range of experiences for your pupils. It is not enough to employ a concept or process once, you will need to revisit these again and again, each time thinking about how the pupils will develop. For example, when considering problem-solving skills, pupils will develop in different ways, such as:

• Becoming more independent with you having to do less supporting in order for them to think of ideas of their own.
• Applying more sophisticated content knowledge
• Being more equipped to talk about their mathematics
• More able to apply what they know in less familiar settings
• Better able to make connections with things they have done before
• Showing greater sophistication and organisation in their recording methods.

At NRICH we are really interested in finding our more about your experiences. Do email us so we can share your ideas and findings with others.
