Tasks evolve from, and inspire, our Professional Development program. Over 240 tasks are available individually or in a variety of teacher-developed kits.
- Each task is an invitation to work like a mathematician.
- Each task has another life as a whole class investigation which models how to work like a mathematician.
To support whole class investigations which are concrete, visual and make sense we also supply a range of additional resources.

Tasks & Task Kits
You can purchase any number of tasks from our collection of over 240. Most clients either choose from our standard packages or tell us the year level at which they want to use them and we make the selection for you. However, you are welcome to be more specific about the ones you want. There is a discount if you purchase 100+ tasks in a single order.
Tasks for Infants
Literacy requirements involved in reading task cards mean that most schools begin using tasks for independent learning from Year 2 (seven year olds). However many teachers still make use of tasks with younger students using a variety of language teaching techniques to encourage reading in context. Tasks also have a life where they are used as the source of a whole class investigation. Another technique is a Buddy System using senior primary students (or parents) as mentors to encourage comprehension of the card, to question and to promote discussion and recording. The tasks on the list in this link have all been successfully used by teachers of infants (5 - 7 year olds).
Working Mathematically with Infants
Designed to build number sense, concepts and skills in 5 - 7 year olds beyond what is normally expected for their age, this kit integrates the use of Threaded Activities from Calculating Changes with whole class investigations derived from tasks and other sources. It provides a unique and exciting core of 60 weeks of scope and sequence planning for Years K, 1 & 2 - that's 10 weeks for each semester of each year level. Calculating Changes membership is essential. Schools that also have Maths300 membership will be able to include additional material - especially software.
Maths With Attitude
Build a Working Mathematically curriculum at particular year levels and in particular strands with maximum support. Sixteen different kits build a core of 25 weeks of investigative work at each year level from 3 to 10 using a combination of tasks and whole class investigations. Skills are developed in context and the scope and sequence charts in each manual allow time for skill practice. Each kit contains enough tasks and planning support for two year levels. This collection of kits is best used by Maths300 members, so obtain your Maths300 membership first.
Points of View
This kit is a 2 - 3 week unit on the topic of representing 3D objects in 2D. It is constructed on a Mixed Media model which integrates whole class investigations, tasks, software and skill practice in a work station arrangement. It was designed for Years 5 - 8 and has also been successfully used in Year 11 non-academic courses.

Tasks for Infants
| Using tasks as prepared implies a reasonable level of independent literacy. This is not necessarily present in young children, however tasks can still be successfully used when they are viewed as an opportunity to support literacy learning as well as mathematics.
Support structures are introduced to help the children read and understand the card. The materials provide a context for the understanding in the same sense as a picture in a picture/story book; but also in a different sense, since the context in a task is represented concretely. Some of those support structures are:
- Teaching Group ... introduce 2 or 3 tasks orally before handing them to partners, perhaps supported by writing out the task card words - or key words - on a vocabulary chart.
- Parent Helpers ... or additional teaching staff who work as they do in reading classes to help children explore the meaning of the text.
- Year 5/6 Buddies ... who, having become 'expert' in one or two tasks, have been trained by their Year 5/6 teacher to ask questions that encourage the children rather than to give answers.

Infant teachers have reported that these Infant Tasks can be adapted in various ways for use with young children. Please select from this list. Your colleagues have judged these tasks as adaptable to infants, but left the process and details of adaptation to you. However, several of them, and some others, are included with extensive adaptation ideas in Working Mathematically with Infants.

Additional Information
- One school we visited many years ago, which had developed its own infant task set, used large poster size problem cards. The students could gather around them on the floor. They were hand written on coloured card and laminated. The storing process was clever too. The cards, with equipment bags attached, were pegged to coat hangers hung from a rolling home-laundry drying rack.
- A rich infant classroom would also include Poly Plug and membership of Calculating Changes.

Working Mathematically with Infants
| This kit brings together the work of Calculating Changes, Mathematics Task Centre and Maths300 to enhance young children's number sense (Years K - 2, ie: 5 - 7 year olds) beyond what is normally expected for the age.
Working Mathematically with Infants is only available to Calculating Changes members and contains:
- 20 Poly Plug
- CD-ROM which includes 45 early years activities extracted from Calculating Changes plus PowerPoint presentations from trial teachers
- Manual with scope and sequence planners and 48 additional whole class investigations
At each year level the planners offer 10 weeks per semester of week by week, lesson by lesson sequenced activity. That's 60 weeks over three years designed to enhance number sense, number concepts and number skills - all important for a mathematician - to prepare students for involvement with Maths With Attitude from Year 3 onwards.
Threaded activities in the program have been developed and trialed over fifteen years by teachers in the Calculating Changes network. Whole class investigations have been adapted from Maths Tasks and Maths300 lessons. It is not necessary to have the tasks used, nor it is necessary to be a Maths300 member to make excellent use of this kit. However, if you do have access to these extras, your curriculum can only be richer.
Professional development is available to support the introduction of this kit.

Storing Tasks
| All tasks are packed in specially made, sturdy, press-seal bags. These are very effective if you are intending to move tasks around the school.
Should you need additional bags we can supply the same type for $22 per 100 plus freight.
However, some schools use their tasks in a particular room called a Task Centre and consequently store tasks in plastic cake-storer type boxes such as those shown here, or in the Organisation Album and other aspects of the Photographs page.
Moonee Ponds West Primary School has combined both boxed storage and transportability by storing the plastic boxes beside a through way to many classrooms.
Mathematics Centre does not supply plastic boxes, or other storage systems, but does provide the following information:
-
Boxes
Plastics & Storage Warehouse tell us that it is no longer possible to obtain the traditional boxes shown in some photos on site. However, they can provide one that works well and are experienced at supplying throughout Australia. Wayne is very easy to deal with.
Plastics & Storage Warehouse

Price: Approx $3 - $3.50 plus delivery charges.
In the USA schools have had success with similar boxes through the Rubber Maid web site.
It may also be possible to find appropriate boxes at the local discount shop. The critical measurement is the size of our task cards. Almost all mainstream task cards are 20cm x 20cm. Additional A4 boards are used in a few tasks and all task cards in the Aboriginal Kit are A4. Two or three tasks use A3 boards.

Refresh Your Task Centre
Ina Koetsier, Distribution Manager, provides a service which includes checking and repairing or replacing your tasks.
- Has your task resource been left to languish?
- Do you want to revive it?
Service fee is $137.50 per day (travel and accommodation where necessary) and parts are replaced at cost - almost always on the spot. Contact Ina through the Contacts link at the head of the page.
Near the end of the year, Ina came to sort out our task centre. This is a job no-one wants to do and no-one has the time to do. She spent the day sorting, replacing missing bits, and cleaning with some chosen helpers - and she was so enthusiastic!
How wonderful it was to see our task centre perfect, no parts missing, no problem sheets missing and the right parts in the right box.
Thank you Ina for a great job.

Poly Plug
|
Poly Plug is two 5x5 grids of foam plugs, one of which is red, and one of which is twice as thick but yellow on one side and blue on the other. It is an extremely flexible learning aid because it is both unstructured when the plugs are removed and used as counters, and structured when held in arrangements defined by the grid ... or parts of it ... or multiples of it.
The material is 'classroom savvy' in that:
- it is colourful and tactile
- it has a loss-proof pack up system built in ... no gaps so all plugs must be there
- it is silent
- it cannot be used to hurt
- it is almost indestructible
|
|
Poly Plug is the preferred material for Calculating Changes and can also be used to explore the whole class investigation life of many tasks. Poly Plug also has many other uses such as exploring the array model of multiplication, concepts of fractions and ratio, creating equations and illustrating the difference between two squares. In addition, Poly Plug Game Pack offers a reproducible resource book of 16 strategy games in four families and one Poly Plug set as playing pieces.

Sphinx Shapes
| Sphinx, Task 166, is a wonderful example of the principles underpinning a good task and what it means to work like a mathematician in happy, healthy, cheerful, productive, inspiring classrooms. It is also the source of the story behind the Task Centre Project logo:
a story which has particular relevance to Aboriginal students.
To get the most from this task teachers need multiple copies of the Sphinx shape. Teachers can design, print and laminate their own (the shape is made from 6 equilateral triangles) or can perhaps organise for the students to make the school set in conjunction with the Design & Technology teacher.
However, the easier alternative is to purchase these sturdy, colourful, Australian made plastic Sphinx shapes.
Prices & Ordering
- Sphinx Shapes (pack of 100) ...$56.50 per pack
- Prices include GST. Delivery charges apply.
- Order with either your school purchase order or our Order Form.

Additional Information
- Explore our Sphinx Album to discover a world of mathematics for primary and secondary classrooms that develops from this one shape. There are many examples from classrooms around the world.
- Sphinx is also the basis of Maths300 Lesson 25, Sphinx and Maths300 Lesson 99, What's It Worth?.

Trisquares
| Trisquares are used in Tasks 237, Trisquares, and 238, Growing Trisquares. Based around a unit square rather than a unit triangle, these shapes have the same property as Sphinx, so anything you can do with Sphinx you can do with Trisquares, but the pictures that result certainly don't look the same.
Trisquares offer many applications across primary and secondary school including:
- Shape discrimination & other spatial experiences
- Perimeter & area
- Problem solving
- Square numbers
- Pattern & algebra
- Graphing
Teachers and children can make their own from thin card, but the more efficient approach is to purchase these sturdy, colourful, Australian made Plastazote Trisquares.

Tricubes
| Tricubes are used in Tasks 69, Tricubes, 77, Tricube Constructions A, 90 Tricube Constructions B, 193, Surface Area with Tricubes and 234, Growing Tricubes. They are also used in Maths300 lesson 165, Surface Area with Tricubes.
Based around a unit cube rather than a unit triangle, these shapes have the same property as Sphinx, so anything you can do with Sphinx you can do with Tricubes in both two and three dimensions.
Tricubes offer many applications across primary and secondary school including:
- 3D constructions & spatial perception
- Tessellations
- Base area (foot print)
- Surface area
- Volume
- Pattern & algebra
- Linear, quadratic and cubic graphs
|

Pentagon Triangles
| Task 81, Pentagon Triangles, involves a multitude of work in space, measurement and number patterns which has become the basis of Maths300 Lesson 134. Teachers could make cardboard Pentagon Triangles by cutting a regular pentagon into isosceles triangles along its diagonals. But if you don't want that work, and you do want something more permanent and attractive for your whole class investigation then these colourful, Australia made, plastazote pieces are the way to go.
Prices & Ordering
- Pentagon Triangles (class set of 320) ...$66 per set (5 pairs of red and blue panels)
- The class set is 16 sets of 20 triangles. Each set is enough for one pair of students. The 20 triangles in a set are made up of 5 red and 5 blue of each of the two shapes of isosceles triangle shown in the photo. Student sets are therefore easy to pack up.

Pyramid Puzzle
| Pyramid Puzzle, Task 101, has a depth of algebra and mathematical history that takes it far beyond the initial 3D spatial puzzle. This investigation should be part of every Year 12 algebra curriculum.
There is considerable information about the mathematical depth of the task, which includes summing Natural, Square and Triangle Numbers and proof by Mathematical Induction, in its Task Cameo and Maths300 Lesson 138. Use a class set of pyramid puzzle pieces to activate the whole class lesson life of the task. These Australian made puzzle pieces are available in sturdy, colourful plastic at a very reasonable cost. Four pieces build to make one pyramid.
Hint: Give a paper plate to each student along with the puzzle. This will (a) provide a non-slip surface and (b) make it almost impossible for the longer pieces to roll onto a hard floor and perhaps snap.
Prices & Ordering
- 25 Pyramids ...$126.50 (4 pieces per set)
- 50 Pyramids ...$231
- 100 Pyramids ...$440

3d Geoshapes
| 3d Geoshapes, are click together plastic pieces in a range of shapes. The joining sides make a hinge which allows folding into three dimensions. Although the plastic they are made from is thin, it is incredibly strong. These Australian made shapes are frames, not solid surfaces, so construction of 3D objects is easier because fingers can get in, out, around and through. This material opens up a world of hands-on exploration K - 12 and is particularly useful in the task centre context.
The shapes resource several of our tasks, such as Cube Nets, Tetrahedron Nets and Pointy Fences. To activate the whole class investigation life of these tasks you will need a class set of the materials.
For example, as a whole class investigation, Cube Nets, Task 31 (Maths300 Lesson 116) is an excellent way to illustrate what it means to work like a mathematician. In addition the lesson offers several learning features which encourage us to reflect on better choices for teaching and learning. Teachers wishing to convert this task to a whole class investigation would need four packs of squares.

Rotagrams
| A Rotagram is a clear plastic circle set into a clear plastic square. The circle can rotate against the square. One arm of an angle is marked (and fixed) on the square. The other is marked on the circle and consequently rotates. There are no units marked so the focus is on the concept of an angle and the way it is measured, rather than on the skills related to using a protractor. It is a very useful device for comparing angles.
Originally designed by Geoff Giles for DIME Projects, Scotland, they are now manufactured in Australia. Some schools may also have the original A5 booklets Geoff designed to accompany Rotagrams and will now be able to use those again.
Rotagrams are critical for building a whole class investigation around Task 214, Angle Estimation, and are also suggested in Maths300 Lesson 133, Angle Estimation, which has grown from the task.

Maths300 ETuTE
- Are you a new member of Maths300 wondering where to start?
- Are you a longer term member but feel you are not getting best value from the scores of lessons available?
- Would you like to maintain a focus on teaching and learning in your faculty/level meetings to balance administrative demands?
Maths300 ETuTE can help with all these issues.
Written in a diary style with one stimulus question per page this 'sound bite' format suits the time pressures of modern teaching.
- Stay in touch with your teaching craft as you explore Maths300 a little at a time.
- Be inspired to trial a lesson you hadn't thought of using before.
- Be encouraged to integrate lessons and tasks into your curriculum in a way that focuses on learning to work like a mathematician.
Based entirely on the well received electronic ETuTEs distributed to members between 2004 and 2009, and suitable for all school years K - 12, the 49 stimulus questions and companion text have been refreshed and organised so that you can:
- Flick the pages and randomly find questions that interest you. Then trial what is suggested and return to faculty meetings to compare experiences.
- Start at the first ETuTE and follow in sequence on a regular basis, trialing what is suggested before beginning the next ETuTE. With this approach, you will have material for at least five years of faculty meetings.
- Use the Year Level Finder to select those tutorials relevant to your current teaching load. Then either select at random or follow in sequence.
- Use the Content Finder to select content relevant to your current syllabus demand, trial what you find and evaluate it against the approach 'we would have normally used'.
Maths300 ETuTE is a framework for inhouse professional development based around Maths300.

Matt's Maths Mat
| Physical involvement (kinaesthetic learning) is a key component in playing out the whole class investigation 'life' of many tasks. One of the aids that can be used to challenge students in this way is a large plastic mat with cells big enough for a student to sit inside. Until now teachers have had to make their own, or have had such a grid painted in the playground. That is no longer necessary.
Matt Skoss, experienced task centre teacher and consultant, has found a way to mass produce these mats. There are many learning opportunities that develop when you have one of these mats. These links will start you thinking.

The Mat
- 7.5m x 3.6m mat made from virtually indestructible shade cloth
- 3 x fluoro elastics
(many applications eg: geometry)
- 17 x LamiPanel labelling sheets
(postcard size - 6" x 4")
- axes for graphs
- packed in a suitcase on wheels

Matt's mini-Whiteboard
These have been a hit with several classes in the Red Centre.
What is also generating interest are the mini-Whiteboards I tote around with me. Using whiteboard markers kids record their data, then walk up to a whiteboard to contribute to the 'community data'. I was stunned with the reaction of the teachers. This stuff is on 6mm plywood, rather than the 20mm plywood A3-size whiteboards in some schools (...which could be classified as a weapon!).
I used them with Sultanas in Fruit Cake - a variation on the Maths300 Chocolate Chip Cookies lesson. Bringing the mini-Whiteboards out to the front was a convenient way of 'collecting the community data' as a precursor to jumping into a stem & leaf plot. Not an essential process, but nice.
