Reflection on ENRICH Webpage

"The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics."

     The purpose of the NRICH webpage is to enrich mathematics curriculums for all learners by offering challenging and engaging activities. It aims to develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. Enrich wants to work in partnership with teachers, schools and other educational settings. I would probably use this site because it gives really great resources and promotes problem solving. They link engaging problems to the curriculum. They have daily topics...today was counters and it had so many different activities and methods of using them. I would suggest this website to teachers but probably not to students. While it is a great site for the teacher, its navigation is a little complicated. It definitely assisted me and gave me some great insight on ways of teaching and new perspectives on certain lessons. It has a teacher guide tab and a topic bar to help you find exactly what you need, but note that it is incredibly informational, so be ready to read.

  1. You chose an awesome quote to start your reflection. I think students can use this but I think it works best of the teacher has reviewed some of it first and and make some recommendations. It is surprising how quickly they learn to navigate a site!
