By following through the threads of algebraic thinking discussed in this article, we can ensure that children's mathematical experiences follow a continuous progression.
In this article for teachers, we explain what is meant by Low Threshold High Ceiling tasks, and why we like them.
This article explores the key features of a Low Threshold High Ceiling classroom.
In this article, the NRICH team describe the process of selecting solutions for publication on the site.
Jenny Piggott reflects on the event held to mark her retirement from the directorship of NRICH, but also on problem solving itself.
Here are examples of how two schools set about the task of ensuring that problem solving was an integral part of their curriculum.
A useful entry point into the NRICH site for those students interested in Mathematical Olympiad problems or the Maths Challenges.
This article stems from research on the teaching of proof and offers guidance on how to move learners from focussing on experimental arguments to mathematical arguments and deductive reasoning.
In this article, Jennifer Piggott talks about just a few of the problems with problems that make them such a rich source of mathematics and approaches to learning mathematics.
This is the section of stemNRICH devoted to the advanced applied mathematics underlying the study of the sciences at higher levels
This article is based on some of the ideas that emerged during the production of a book which takes visualising as its focus. We began to identify problems which helped us to take a structured view of the purposes and skills of visualising.
Kirsti Ashworth, an NRICH Teacher Fellow, talks about her experiences of using rich tasks.
Need some help getting started with solving and thinking about rich tasks? Read on for some friendly advice.
Creativity in the mathematics classroom is not just about what pupils do but also what we do as teachers. If we are thinking creatively about the mathematical experiences we offer our pupils we can open up opportunities for them to be creative. Jennifer Piggott shares some of her thoughts on creative teaching, and how it can encourage creative learners.
