Description
NRICH (nrich.maths.org) is a free, world-leading online math resource from the University of Cambridge, providing rich, open-ended problems, activities, and teaching support for ages 3-19 to develop problem-solving, reasoning, and mathematical thinking beyond standard curriculum tasks.
What it offers:
- Rich Problems: Tasks that allow for multiple solutions, exploration, and investigation, unlike typical textbook questions.
- Curriculum-Linked Resources: Activities and problems organized by age and topic (Number, Shape, Data, etc.) for various school levels (Primary, Secondary, Post-16).
- Teacher Support: Detailed teacher pages with background, teaching ideas, key questions, and sample solutions.
- Student Engagement: Games, interactive tasks, and "Live Problems" where students can submit solutions for an authentic audience.
- Focus on Thinking: Activities promote mathematical thinking, discussion, perseverance, and applying knowledge creatively.
Who uses it:
- Students (Ages 3-19): For independent exploration or with family.
- Teachers: To enrich classroom practice with non-routine problems.
- Parents: To support mathematical learning at home.
How it differs from textbooks:
NRICH problems are "rich mathematical tasks" designed to be open, encourage multiple approaches, and develop deeper mathematical understanding and confidence, fostering exploration and conjecture.
