Nurturing Successful Mathematicians
In this feature, we are offering you groups of linked tasks which will help develop learners as mathematicians. We have created a child-friendly model, which we hope you will share with your learners as they work on the tasks, to encourage them to reflect on their own mathematical capabilities.
You can watch a recording of the webinar in which we discussed the mathematical thinking which can be prompted by these problems.

Age 5 to 16
This short article explores what it means to be a successful mathematician.
From Exploration to Consolidation Age 5 to 11
Age 5 to 11
Each pair of tasks in this group offers an opportunity to put into practice the model of 'exploration, codification, consolidation'. Take a look to find out more.
From Competitive to Collaborative Age 5 to 11
Age 5 to 11
Each of these tasks has been structured in the same way to make the most of a shift from a competitive game to a collaborative challenge.
From Random to Systematic Age 5 to 7
Age 5 to 7
The tasks in this group invite learners to find all possible solutions so are a perfect context for working systematically.
From Introduction to Deeper Understanding Age 5 to 11
Age 5 to 11
These tasks all offer opportunities to explore and describe number patterns, particularly using knowledge of factors and multiples.
