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.
This article, written for primary teachers, links to rich tasks which will help develop the underlying concepts associated with fractions and offers some suggestions for models and images that help support ideas around fractions.
Kirsti Ashworth, an NRICH Teacher Fellow, talks about her experiences of using rich tasks.
It began in Devon in 2008. The Maths Team was keen to raise the profile of mathematics investigations and further promote mathematical thinking and problem solving in primary classes. Liz was invited to Devon to launch ‘Enriching Mathematics’ with a group of 25 teachers.
This is the second part of an article describing the Enriching Mathematics project in Devon in 2008-9. The participating teachers describe NRICH activities they have tried with their learners.
