Postcards

The NRICH postcards are shown below, listed roughly in order of difficulty, including the 'stage' of the problem on which the postcard is based. The problem itself can be accessed by clicking on the letter. Click on the name of the problem to see a larger version.

Mrs Melrose, a teacher st St Leonard's Primary, East Kilbride got in touch with us to explain how she used the postcards:

"I am writing to thank you for the class sets of free postcards you sent me. I decided to send them home as a homework task. The children loved the idea of maths homework being presented in this new, fun format and were keen to show me their solutions the following morning. Many now access the NRICH website at home and enjoy the challenging online interactive problems. I will be using these postcards again to continue stimulating interest in problem solving at home."
