January 2012 Front Page
Welcome to the new edition of NRICH.
Happy New Year!! This month we have started the Olympic year with the first of two issues which bring together tasks with a sport theme. Some are about the sports themselves, others about the scoring or the organisation of particular events. And if you would like more, don't forget our Maths and Sport website which has other ideas and information about the Olympics.
This month
If you're a pupil you can submit your solutions to the problems using the 'Submit a Solution' tab at the top of each problem. Solutions to the January problems will appear in February.
To discuss the problems, visit the Infinities (primary), Irrationals (secondary) or Fractals (Post 16) blogs.
If you're a teacher, the Teachers' Notes accompanying each problem offer guidance on possible ways of engaging learners in the activity or challenge.
