Background
• The department – very different!

What were we trying to achieve?
• enhance the well-established and successful scheme of work to reflect the new National Curriculum
• incorporate rich tasks from NRICH • empower staff by giving them the skills to
utilise rich tasks and problem solving in their classrooms
• support learners in functioning more mathematically
Comberton Village College
How did we try to achieve it?
• not by making NRICH activities compulsory!
• excite, support and encourage colleagues
Comberton Village College
We identified two issues
• Training and support for members of the maths dept
• Identifying appropriate tasks to use with different topics
