NRICH Project for Professional Development

I came across this interesting resource and I want to share it with you.
NRICH Project is a web site developed by the University of Cambridge. Its purpose is to enrich mathematical experience for all learners. Originally it was an online maths club for interested students. However it changed and is now a project which provides resources for all ages, and provides support to teachers.
The web site offers interesting, challenging, and engaging activities that help children to develop thinking and problem-solving skills.
For math teachers it offers free material (Problems, Articles and Games) that may help to engage learners and embed rich tasks into everyday practice. It also delivers professional development courses and workshops.
For students NRICH web site provides free and interesting mathematical games, problems and articles. It offers an online space where students can meet others with similar interests.
Among various site resources there are many interesting articles that teachers can use for professional development.

  1. I came across the site when taking the B.Ed. It is an excellent resource for teachers. It offers quite rich math problems, and I have myself liked the articles and resources for professional development. I have tried some of their tasks with my students, and quite a number of them have found them hard. At the same time, such a treat to have for students who are really into math. The problems have been great in order to expand their knowledge.
