| In the classic task centre room all pairs of students are working on different tasks simultaneously. But that is not an essential. There are as many ways of using tasks as there are creative teachers. Many teachers use a work station arrangement which includes tasks, software and text-type work. Many students like to use the tasks on the floor. |

| In some ways the role of the teacher and student is reversed. Can you tell me how we can organise the data we have collected about this problem? The focus for the teacher, no matter which tasks the students are using, is to illustrate the Working Mathematically process. |

| When students are focused on their task, many management problems fade away. As teachers realise this and also realise that their role is to accentuate the Working Mathematically process rather than to know all there is to know about every task, they frequently become more willing to establish a classic task centre room for at least one lesson per cycle. |
