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:
