In this article, read about the thinking behind the September 2010 secondary problems and why we hope they will be an excellent selection for a new academic year.
Here are examples of how two schools set about the task of ensuring that problem solving was an integral part of their curriculum.
A useful entry point into the NRICH site for those students interested in Mathematical Olympiad problems or the Maths Challenges.
In this article Jenny talks about Assessing Pupils' Progress and the use of NRICH problems.
Alf and Tracy explain how the Kingsfield School maths department use common tasks to encourage all students to think mathematically about key areas in the curriculum.
A group of teachers involved in embedding NRICH tasks into their everyday practice were keen to challenge common perceptions of mathematics and of teaching and learning mathematics. In this article, the teachers share what they are doing to change perceptions in their schools.
The teachers involved in the Engaging Mathematics Projectwanted to embed rich tasks from the NRICH website into their curriculum for all KS3 and KS4 students. In this article, the teachers share the issues they needed to consider and what they are doing to address them.
A group of teachers involved in embedding NRICH tasks into their everyday practice decided they needed to address the (im)balance between teacher and student activity in their classrooms. In this article they share the issues they identified and what they have been doing to address them.
As teachers, we appreciate the need to have clear objectives at the start of lessons but have been aware of the limitations this sometimes seems to place on our ability to get the most out of using rich tasks. In this article we talk about how we managed this tension.
Teachers who participated in an NRICH workshop produced some posters suggesting how they might use a tessellation interactivity in a range of situations.

An article for teachers based on a lecture and workshop activities at the NZAMT conference in New Zealand 2007
Following on from a workshop at an MA Easter conference, Jennifer and Jenni talked about the way in which the website is made more accessible to teachers who want to plan threads of activity. Here’s a pattern- based theme.
This article discusses the findings of the 1995 TIMMS study how to use this information to close the performance gap that exists between nations.
The content of this article is largely drawn from an Australian publication by Peter Gould that has been a source of many successful mathematics lessons for both children and student-teachers. It presents a style of problem-solving activity that has the potential to benefit ALL children in a class, both mathematically and socially, and is readily adaptable to most topics in mathematics curricula.
