Dear all

The May edition of the NRICH website is now live at http://nrich.maths.org

This month's site has been developed in collaboration with Jo Boaler,  
based on her work on group-worthy tasks - on the site you will find  
activities which offer opportunities for collaborative work, short  
articles that outline the merits of working in this way, and examples  
of teachers' classroom practice.

The Teachers' Notes accompanying each problem offer guidance on how  
group work can be developed in classrooms. There is also support  
available for teachers introducing group work for the very first time.

Students can submit their solutions to the May problems - we will  
publish them in June.

The Curriculum mapping documents for all Key Stages are regularly  
being updated with new resources.

I am attaching a flyer from The London Mathematical Society  
advertising a couple of their popular lectures, one in London and one  
in Birmingham. They may be of particular interest to post-16 students.

Finally, an exciting professional development opportunity:

NRICH Teacher Inspiration Days 2010/11

The NRICH team is offering a free professional development programme  
for mathematics teachers at maintained sector schools/colleges in the  
UK.

The aim of the programme is to support mathematics teachers who are  
committed to nurturing confident, resourceful and enthusiastic learners.

The Teacher Inspiration programme will be delivered as three one-day  
events over the course of the 2010/11 academic year:

		1st October 2010 - Enriching resources, inspiring learners
		24th March 2011 - Enriching classrooms, inspiring learning
		17th June 2011 - Enriching networks, inspiring teachers

The programme is aimed at teachers of mathematics at Key Stages 3, 4  
and 5.

The Goldman Sachs Foundation has generously provided support to enable  
us to offer places without charge to mathematics teachers at  
maintained sector schools in the UK.

The deadline for applications is 5th July 2010.

For more details, and to apply for a place go to http://nrich.maths.org/teacherinspiration

With best wishes from the NRICH Team.
