Nrich Maths

Nrich Maths is a free online platform created by the University of Cambridge that provides mathematical resources, problems, games, and interactive activities designed to develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills for learners aged 3-19.

Nrich Maths is designed for students, teachers, and parents. It caters to learners of all ages and abilities, from early years to advanced levels, and provides specific resources for both primary and secondary education.

The platform offers a wide range of resources including mathematical puzzles, games, interactive activities, articles, lesson plans, classroom activities, worksheets, and professional development materials for teachers. All resources focus on problem-solving and critical thinking.

Yes, Nrich Maths is completely free to use. All materials are freely available on the internet, though registration (also free) is required for certain features like submitting solutions for publication or joining mailing lists.

Teachers receive extensive support through detailed lesson plans, classroom activities, downloadable worksheets, guidance material, suggestions for using rich tasks in the classroom, and professional development training. The resources help teachers promote rich mathematical thinking and problem-solving approaches.

Nrich Maths uses a 'low-threshold/high-ceiling' approach, meaning the problems are accessible but encourage rich mathematical thinking and exploration. It emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative approaches to mathematics rather than traditional drill exercises.
