Register to become a Problem-solving School for free to:
Trusted provider of free problem-solving resources and teacher support, NRICH, is inviting primary and secondary schools to become part of the NEW Problem-solving Schools Programme.
With the rise of AI, problem-solving skills are more important than ever for students. To thrive outside of the classroom, they need to develop resilience, be able to work collaboratively, think creatively and flexibly and perhaps most importantly, they will need to be able to solve problems.
A new Ofsted report, published in July 2023, said that the teaching of mathematical problem-solving remains an area “of weakness across many schools”, and emphasised the importance of teaching skills that “equip [pupils] for the next stage of education, work and life”.
As well as asking schools to teach specific problem-solving strategies, they want students to have plenty of opportunities to put these strategies into practice and choose the best one for each situation.
The programme is open to all schools with resources and PD available for key stages 2 - 4.
