Resources for secondary teachers new to NRICH

Are you thinking of getting started with using rich tasks in your secondary school mathematics classroom? Perhaps you are new to teaching, or perhaps you have taught successfully for many years using traditional methods? In this collection of materials we provide material which is ideal for teachers who are starting to explore teaching using rich mathematical tasks, regardless of prior background.

We believe that there are many wonderful educational benefits of using rich tasks, so we have collected together material which makes getting started as easy as possible,

There are some articles of general guidance, specially selected tasks with very clear teacher guidance notes and collections of problems which are useful as a supplement to traditional teaching.
