Curriculum Mapping

We thought it would be helpful for maths teachers if we identified some "rich tasks" from the NRICH collection. These resources have been chosen because they are ideal for developing subject content knowledge as well as mathematical thinking and problem-solving (process) skills.

Curriculum Documents

The following documents give links to the curriculum. We know they are transferable and useful to all teachers, whatever curriculum they follow. To help you further, as teachers create additional mapping documents based on ours and send them to us, we are adding them below the main table. If you have created a similar mapping document that you are willing to share, please let us know. This is work in progress and will be continually updated over the coming months.


Users will find it more convenient to download these files and save them somewhere, to be opened from outside the browser. Right click on the links for saving options.

Further NRICH links to the Secondary Mathematics Curriculum in England

NRICH has worked with the Secondary National Strategy to develop guidance based on NRICH problems that illustrate what pupils should know and be able to do within a particular process strand. This material can be found on this page or searching for NRICH on the Standards site

NRICH links to OCR stages

Mark Greenaway, an AST in Suffolk, has worked on embedding resources listed in the mapping documents to the 10 OCR stages. They do not use OCR at his school but use the stages to help ensure progression. We think these might be useful to some of you too:
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
Stage 6
Stage 7
Stage 8
Stage 9
Stage 10
