The authors have chosen material from the NRICH site for you as further
extension and learning material. NRICH is a team of qualified teachers who are
also practitioners in RICH mathematical thinking. The NRICH Project began in
1996. Originally it was an online maths club for interested (and highly able)
students, mainly of secondary age. It is now a project which caters for all abilities
and ages, and provides considerable support to teachers. It provides FREE and
interesting mathematical games, problems and articles. NRICH is based in both
the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Education and the Centre for
Mathematical Sciences.
