&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welcome to the new edition of NRICH.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://nrich.maths.org/public/monthindex.php?showfulltier=yes&quot;&gt;This month&lt;/a&gt; we have chosen a selection of problems ideal for beginning problem solving at the start of a new school year. Working on rich tasks together can help to break the ice and stimulate mathematical discussions. We hope this month&amp;#39;s resources will help new classes to develop good mathematical habits of
mind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;This month&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
If you&amp;#39;re a pupil you can submit your solutions to the problems using the &amp;#39;Submit a Solution&amp;#39; tab at the top of each problem. Solutions to the September problems will appear in October.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
If you&amp;#39;re a teacher, the Teachers&amp;#39; Notes accompanying each problem offer guidance on possible ways of engaging learners in the activity or challenge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;framework&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;ABOUT NRICH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://nrich.maths.org/2714&amp;amp;part=&quot;&gt;NRICH team&lt;/a&gt; work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. More information on many of our other activities can
be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://nrich.maths.org/2712&amp;amp;part=&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
On our website you will find thousands of our free mathematics enrichment materials (problems, articles and games) for teachers and learners from ages 5 to 19 years. All the resources are designed to develop subject knowledge, problem-solving and mathematical thinking skills. The website is updated with new material on the first day of every month. For guidance on how to find the right resources
for you, go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://nrich.maths.org/2710&amp;amp;part=&quot;&gt;Help section&lt;/a&gt; of the site.&lt;/div&gt;
