Past features
Digging Into Geometry
Dig deeply into geometrical ideas by having a go at the tasks in this Primary student feature.
Low Threshold High Ceiling Tasks
Try some Low Threshold High Ceiling Tasks.
NRICH at Stage 1
Choose a problem, investigation or game. Which is your favourite?
The Problem with Problem Solving at Stage 1
Choose one of the problems below.
Maths Explorers
Are you a maths detective? Choose a task and use your mathematical skills to solve the problem.
I Wonder ...?
We hope these tasks make you wonder what if ...?
I'm Stuck but ....!
These tasks are tough! Can you keep going and find a solution?
Surprise!
The activities in this feature for primary students may give a surprising outcome!
Take a Fresh Look
These problems invite you to look again at ideas you may think you know inside-out.
New to You?
We hope the new ideas and situations in these activities will make you curious to know more.
Shape Your Proof
In this feature for Primary students, we offer geometrical tasks which give you the chance to notice patterns, make conjectures and create convincing mathematical arguments.
Perusing Patterns
The tasks in this feature for Primary students will give you the chance to identify, copy and extend patterns, as well as to create your own, which will help you think mathematically.
I Like to Prove It!
The tasks in this feature give you the chance to identify patterns, make conjectures and then create mathematical arguments that will convince even a mathematician!
Is There a Better Way?
This feature includes tasks which have multiple routes to the solution. We hope this will make you curious about finding different approaches!
What Is the Question?
The tasks in this feature are all about practising times tables, but with a difference...
Mathematical Wizardry
The tasks in this feature all contain tricks that use maths, not magic, to make them work!
From Playing to Explaining
The tasks in this feature encourage you to play and explore, then think deeply about the mathematical ideas underneath.
Maths Outside
Take your mathematics outside with the tasks in this feature.
Playing with Cuisenaire
The activities in this feature all make use of Cuisenaire rods. We hope you enjoy being playful with the rods as they help you uncover and connect some important mathematical ideas.
Matching Pairs
The matching pairs games in this feature give you the chance to compare amounts represented in different ways.
Maths at Home
This feature is full of activities for you to work on at home.
Digging Into Number
The tasks in this Primary student feature give you the chance to dig deeply into maths, particularly number and calculation.
Becoming a Better Mathematician
In this feature we have brought together groups of linked tasks, which will help you develop the five key ingredients that make successful mathematicians.
Which Way?
The tasks in this feature encourage you to make a deliberate choice about the way you solve a calculation.
Shape Your Thinking
These activities will encourage you to think flexibly about shape, position and movement (geometry).
Balancing
The activities in this feature for primary students will help you deepen your understanding of what it means when we say that two amounts are equal.
Delving Into Data
The tasks in this feature for primary students give you the chance to interrogate data as well as come up with your own questions to investigate.
Diving into Factors and Multiples
The activities in this Primary feature will help you get more of a 'feel' for numbers, in particular for factors and multiples.
Can You Play Strategically?
These games will encourage you to play strategically. Can you think ahead and modify your tactics as you go along?
Getting to Know Your Quadrilaterals
The problems and games in this feature for Primary students will challenge you to visualise quadrilaterals.
Digging Into Geometry
Dig deeply into geometrical ideas by having a go at the tasks in this Primary student feature.
