During 2016, probably earlier rather than later:

• Tasks as you know them will become unavailable.

A significant consequence is that Maths With Attitude kits, the only Working Mathematically based core curriculum in the world, will become unavailable, because these kits depend on selected subsets of tasks.

• Many tasks are already unavailable and there are only a few Maths With Attitude kits left on the shelves.

We will continue to fill orders for as long as possible, but please understand if we have to contact you to discuss modifying your original request. Ina would be very happy to discuss your intended order in advance by phone, fax or email (see Link List below for Contacts). However, it is now a case of:

• First in, best dressed.

Tasks as you know them - available for purchase with a task card and pre-packed equipment - began with the Mathematics Task Centre Project which Charles Lovitt established through Curriculum Corporation in July 1992. Ian Lowe ran that first workshop and Doug Williams was invited to join the project in Term 4 1992 to take over development of task cards. Tasks were first distributed through Edmath Curriculum Services, then Mount Math and Ina Koetsier from Black Douglas took on this role in July 2002. (See Link List below for a more complete history.)

• The only thing that has stood still in what is almost a quarter century of development is our resolve to support teachers and schools wanting to build their curriculum around learning to work like a mathematician in happy, healthy, cheerful, productive, inspiring classrooms.

That resolve continues as we move into a new era.
