NRICH samples
The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners with a variety of different materials including problems, articles and games, for teachers and learners from ages 5 to 19 years. All the problems have teachers' notes, hints and solutions.
NRICH is a team of qualified teachers who are also practitioners in rich mathematical thinking. They aim to enrich the experience of the mathematics curriculum for all learners by offering challenging and engaging activities which develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills and show rich mathematics in meaningful contexts. They work in partnership with teachers, schools and other educational settings.
The activities are collated into Key Stage groups but can be used as appropriate, there are different levels of difficulty within the problems, games and investigations.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
NRICH Activities at Stage 1
This sample of activities from NRICH include problems and investigations on number and shape. They offer opportunities for children at KS1 to extend their understanding of the properties of number as well as being starting points for exploration. These activities encourage children to work in a practical way, often co-operatively,…

NRICH Activities at Stage 2
This sample of NRICH activities covers some of the more difficult topics such as fractions, practical shape and space. Pupils will find opportunities in some of these challenging activities to develop their skills of visualising, generalising, and posing their own problems in a given context. The mathematics is suitable for a…
NRICH Activities at Stage 3
Although this sample of NRICH mathematics problems and investigations is generally targeted towards KS3 many are suitable for pupils of other ages. All the problems have teachers' notes, hints and solutions. Some make use of interactive resources as well as printed material. This collection of problems includes working with…
NRICH Activities at Stage 4
This sample of KS4 activities from NRICH include games, investigations and problems which will enhance the KS4 curriculum. The topics covered by the activities include perimeters and area, volume, statistics, fractions and basic number work. They are set at different degrees of difficulty and encourage students to discuss, play…
NRICH Activities at Stage 5
This sample of problems produced by NRICH include topics on rates of change, vectors and statistics, but they also offer opportunities to develop powers of reasoning, logical thought and mathematical communication. Some of the problems are short whilst others encourage the use of visual and practical skills. They can all be used…

I use the nrich site a lot and find it great for interesting session starters. I love doing the mathematical sudokus on the site myself and give them to learners for enrichment work.
