About Nrich
We believe that successful mathematicians understand curriculum concepts and are fluent in mathematical skills and procedures, and can also solve problems, explain and justify their thinking, and have a positive attitude towards mathematics and to themselves as learners of mathematics.
With this in mind, we offer rich mathematical activities which aim to nurture curious, resourceful and confident learners of mathematics.
