Meeting the Aims of the National Curriculum in England

The three aims of the National Curriculum for Mathematics in England (DfE, 2013) focus on problem solving, reasoning and fluency.

NRICH has a feature (a collection of articles and rich tasks) which addresses each of these aims:

Problem Solving

Age 5 to 11

This feature details how NRICH can help you embed a problem-solving approach in your classroom.

Number Fluency

Age 5 to 11

This feature brings together tasks which help to develop learners' fluency in the context of number and calculation.

Reasoning

Age 5 to 11

This feature draws together tasks which give learners opportunities to reason for different purposes.

In addition to the features above, take a look at our Primary Curriculum page, where you can find:
  • curriculum mapping documents, which link NRICH tasks to curriculum objectives;
  • an overview of all our features, which gather together articles and tasks around a particular theme;
  • collections of tasks linked to curriculum topics.

The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice.

NRICH is part of the family of activities in the Millennium Mathematics Project.
