The clue is in the name! Maybe a better title would have been just 'Mathematics research quiz.' As you know all our resources are submitted by teachers who have used them with their own classes, so some will be more appropriate to your own students than others. We would be happy to receive any of your resources too.

This has inspired me to create lots of fantastic research homeworks. Students get some choice and oppportunities to research a range of mathematics: history, current interests and uses of mathematics. They can focus on the mathematics, mathematical applications or the mathematicians themselves, and they present their homeworks every half term over a few lessons. This helps them to understand how mathematics develops, its uses and that mathematics is an important human endeavor: past, present and future.
