Description
Developing fluency, understanding and problem-solving skills in mathematics requires teachers to design effective mathematical tasks. This book provides practical approaches, strategies and principles for creating tasks that enable all pupils to become successful learners.
First-hand interviews with world-class mathematics education experts and practicing teachers reveal the key role tasks play in shaping learning, teaching, curriculum and assessment. The authors offer a range of practical examples for nurturing deep learning in mathematics that can be adapted and embedded in your own classroom practice.
This book is suitable for teachers at all stages in their careers, offering valuable insights into how tasks can act as a bridge between what the teacher wants pupils to learn and what they actually do. It's a resource you may return to over time to notice how your use of tasks evolves as you develop your teaching practice.
