Mathematics Task Centre Project

The concept began in Australia in the late 1970s as a collection of hands-on problem solving tasks housed in a special room, which came to be called a Task Centre. Since that time hundreds of teachers have adapted and modified the concept to work in their schools.

The wisdom that has developed supports the growth of curriculum that:

• is constructed around a flexible blend of small group work, whole class lessons and deeper investigations
• integrates hands-on problem solving
• encourages talking, recording and publishing in mathematics
• balances the learning of mathematics content with opportunity to understand, and independently apply, the process of Working Mathematically.
