In this article for Primary teachers, Ems explores three essential features of proof, all of which can be developed in the context of primary mathematics through talk.

This article for primary teachers discusses how we can help learners generalise and prove, using NRICH tasks as examples.

Dave Hewitt suggests that there might be more to mathematics than looking at numerical results, finding patterns and generalising.

In this article Liz Woodham reflects on just how much we really listen to learners’ own questions to determine the mathematical path of lessons.

This article for teachers describes several games, found on the site, all of which have a related structure that can be used to develop the skills of strategic planning.

The NRICH team are always looking for new ways to engage teachers and pupils in problem solving. Here we explain the thinking behind maths trails.
