Primary and Secondary Education
Professional Development

Updated July 2022

 

 

The NRICH team is sometimes able to work with schools, academies, hubs, teacher training institutions and local authorities to help teachers develop rich mathematical learning opportunities for their students. 

 

INSET day programmes

 
Our most popular programmes of Teacher Professional Development broadly fall into three main themes:

  • NRICHing the Curriculum 
    Primary: Supporting Children to Become Expert Reasoners; Focusing on Fluency; Progression through Problem Solving
    Secondary: Starting with a Rich Challenge; Building a Community of Mathematicians; Consolidating with Rich Tasks
  • Mathematical Habits of Mind
    Developing Curious, Resilient and Resourceful Learners; Thinking Mathematically; Mastering Mathematics
  • Enhancing Subject Knowledge
    Embedding Problem Solving in Geometry; Fractions Unpacked

Extended Programmes of Teacher Professional Development

 
We run extended programmes of teacher professional development (three or more days) in locations around the UK and beyond.

Our aim is to inspire and stimulate debate around rich tasks and deep mathematical learning.
 
To get a flavour of what we do, here are some examples:

 

Conference keynotes and workshops

 
We promote the exploration of rich tasks and look at how these can be embedded in curricula and classrooms.

We stimulate debate about the nature of mathematics, its beauty and creativity, its place in 21st century life, and how this impacts on the provision made for mathematics in our classrooms.

Student Workshops

 
We offer resources to support workshops for learners of all ages:

Roadshow Resources

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.
