The pages below contain many of the resources used in our NRICH Hands-On Maths Roadshow.
They are our favourite resources for hands on activities and are excellent for developing problem solving skills. As well as being useful in lessons you may find them helpful for maths clubs, open evenings and other maths events.
On each activity page click the "Printable NRICH Roadshow Resource" link to get a one page instruction sheet. All the activites require some sort of equipment, mostly dice, counters and multi-link. You might find the equipment list below helpful.
