February 2010 Front Page


Welcome to the new edition of NRICH.

This month we invite you to work on linked mathematical activities which naturally provide the insights which will enable you to tackle more significant challenges. This encourages a collaborative way of working on mathematics where the sharing of ideas and results leads to deeper insights for all.

The Teachers' Notes accompanying each problem offer guidance to teachers on how the activities could be used in classrooms to lead to rich mathematical activity and discussion.

Students can submit their solutions to the problems using the 'Submit a Solution' tab at the top of each problem. Solutions to the February problems will appear in March.

ABOUT NRICH

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 our 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.
