The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. More information on many of our other activities can be found here.
On this website you will find thousands of our free mathematics enrichment materials (problems, articles and games) for teachers and learners from ages 5 to 19 years. All the resources are designed to develop subject knowledge, problem-solving and mathematical thinking skills. The website is updated with new material on the first day of every month.
For guidance on how to find the right resources for you, go to the Help section of the site.
This month
This month many of our problems focus on properties of number and calculating. 'Playing' with the mathematics of a situation is often a good way to get into a problem and several resources this month lend themselves to that approach.
The Teachers' Notes for each activity offer guidance on how to get the most out of it in the classroom in terms of developing all students' mathematical understanding but also their problem-solving skills. A list of the themes of previous issues can be found here .
Solutions to the November problems will appear in January.
