Members of this list may be interested to read the following statement on enrichment in mathematics teaching, which was adopted by the Council of The Mathematical Association on 4th December 2010.
"...Through enrichment, the relevance of mathematics to the modern world is revealed, breadth of experience and depth of understanding are provided, and enthusiasm, or even wonder, is engendered..." etc.
Lists of examples of types of enrichment and reasons why enrichment is useful are provided.
