This article, written for primary teachers, discusses what we mean by 'problem-solving skills' and draws attention to NRICH tasks which can help develop specific skills.
Many NRICH tasks have been designed with group work in mind. Read about Jo Boaler's research on the benefits of collaborative work and watch a clip of a teacher working in this way.
In this article for teachers, Jennie Pennant outlines how group-worthy tasks support the development of children's problem-solving skills.
In this article Jenny talks about Assessing Pupils' Progress and the use of NRICH problems.
bioNRICH is the area of the stemNRICH site devoted to the mathematics underlying the study of the biological sciences, designed to help develop the mathematics required to get the most from your study of biology at A-level and university.
The content of this article is largely drawn from an Australian publication by Peter Gould that has been a source of many successful mathematics lessons for both children and student-teachers. It presents a style of problem-solving activity that has the potential to benefit ALL children in a class, both mathematically and socially, and is readily adaptable to most topics in mathematics curricula.
