Welcome to Goal Free Problems! This site has been set up to allow teachers to access and share goal free problems created by myself and others. Goal free problems have been proven to support pupils in improving their knowledge and understanding by removing the cognitive load of the goal and therefore not prompting means-end analysis of a problem. I have started the site off with 100 Foundation tier problems and 100 Higher tier problems and I hope people will add more as they become interested (see the "Submit a Goal Free Problem" link at the top of the page)
