Dear all, As you may already know, on Wednesday 17th May, Ofsted published a report entitled "Evaluating mathematics provision for 14-19 year olds". They found many lessons "lacked sufficient flair, imagination and challenge to get the best from students" and that the lessons did not allow pupils to develop their "ability to reason and discover solutions for themselves". You will be aware that NRICH focuses on encouraging students to solve mathematical problems and to think 'outside the box' so it is interesting to see this report advocating our philosophy. As you have signed up to receive this newsletter, you will no doubt share our views, but if you do find the NRICH website a useful resource, please spread the word! You can read the full report on the Ofsted website at http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/publications/index.cfm?fuseaction=pubs.summary&id=4207 Best wishes, The NRICH Team -- Liz Pumfrey NRICH Primary Coordinator University of Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences Wilberforce Road Cambridge CB3 0WA 01223 764246 www.nrich.maths.org _______________________________________________ To post to the list send an email to [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe send an email to [log in to unmask] with the message body UNSUBSCRIBE NRICH-SUPPORT or unsubscribe via the web at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?REPORT&Z=3
