Using Rich Tasks for the First Time
The teachers involved in the Engaging Mathematics Project wanted 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.
