A library of eTasks invites students to choose their own mathematical adventure, just like a library of books invites students to choose their own reading adventure. Creating eTasks will make hands-on problem solving a central theme of both your professional development and your students' learning.
  • We provide all the files you need electronically (hence eTasks) as A4 PDFs - 241 task cards, playing boards, cut-out masters, Recording Sheets, eTask Maker Manual, Teachers' Handbook, professional development leadership notes and slides.
  • You provide the equipment to turn each task card into a hands-on investigation for a pair of students.
  • Equipment for most of the tasks can be found in any reasonably stocked maths department.
Work together to make a starter set of tasks. eTasks are for a pair of students. You only need 10 to make a starter set for a work station, or 20 to work with a whole class, or 100 to provide for a whole school.
  • Involve parents and interested students in the process.
  • Learn about, share, discuss and imagine as you construct each task.
  • Plan the use of the tasks as a team - build units of work using Maths With Attitude or other models on site.
  • Extend the units of work with Picture Puzzles, Menu Maths, Maths300.
  • Trial, review, revise, repeat.

I already had materials so I got a sample set of 25 printed for my workshops. They were printed to instruction by the local printer - some greyscale on a range of coloured card, some colour on white card - laminated and had the corners curved for safety. All 25 for just $68. If I had bought the same 25 when they used to be available ready-made they would have cost me over $300 plus freight.

Poly Plug

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
  • it comes in a sturdy press-seal bag for storage

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:

  • 25 Poly Plug
  • 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 trialled 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.

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 and developing a considerable amount of related mathematics usually included in official curricula.

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.
If you do not have these booklets they are freely distributed below.

  • 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 grows from the task.

Prices & Ordering

  • Rotagram ...$36 per pack of 20
  • Prices include GST. Delivery charges apply.
  • Order with either your school purchase order or our Order Form.
Additional Information
  • Geoff Giles DIME Workcard Booklets and Worksheets
    Mathematics Centre has been given permission to reproduce and freely distribute these historic resources to help students use Rotagrams to develop a fuller, richer understanding of angles, their relationships and their applications. Originally published in 1979 and used in schools into the nineties, there is nothing else similar in this content area. Mathematics Centre is honoured to make the work of our late colleague Geoff Giles available to new generations of students in this way.

    • Each file is a PDF.
    • Booklets are designed to be printed monochrome, back to back on A4, folded to A5 size and stapled. Choose the 'Flip on short edge' option (or similar) in your printer dialogue box. This process produces 16 page booklets using only 4 sheets of A4 paper. Many photocopiers will automatically do this whole process from the electronic file.
    • Supporting worksheets are designed to be printed monochrome, back to back on A4, using only one additional sheet of paper for each booklet. Choose the 'Flip on long edge' option (or similar) in your printer dialogue box.
Each of the three sets is a self-directed unit of work which can be used by individuals, small groups or the whole class. Each unit includes two levels of self-assessment. Teachers might introduce such units with a whole class investigation based around Angle Estimation or other practical, outside experiences. However once a unit is in operation the teacher's role is more like that of a tutor. Units can be used at different times in the same school year or at different year levels depending on systemic curriculum requirements.

  • Heather Scott, UK, is developing a 16 page book of Investigation Guides for Rotagrams. The photo shows her current samples. Contact Heather. for more information.

  • Rotagrams are also useful in your school art department for assisting perspective drawing. See November 2013 News. This information is also included in the cameo for Task 214, Angle Estimation, linked above.

  • Rotagrams were recommended in the Victorian Mathematics Developmental Curriculum P-10 (now superseded) under item Angles: 3.25 - Space. If you have this document archived, see Activity 1, No. 5 under Teaching Strategies.

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, trialling 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 in-house professional development based around Maths300.

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 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)
  • Contact Matt Skoss, Possum Educational Resources: matt.skoss@gmail.com
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?.

3d Geoshapes & Mini Geofix
3d Geoshapes, are click together plastic pieces in a range of shapes. Mini Geofix are a smaller version of the same concept. 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, Fold Up Houses 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.

Geoshapes and/or Mini Geofix squares and triangles are required for three Picture Puzzles in the Pattern & Algebra A menu and are useful for several puzzles in other menus.

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.

Make Your Own 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. There are many learning opportunities that develop when you have one of these mats. The articles below show some of the things you can do with a mat (or painted grid in the school yard) and give the dimensions for a grid made from shade cloth or other 'indestructible' plastic. In some schools parent groups have made the school mat in advance of a PD session for staff about using it.

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
They are also required for two Picture Puzzles in the Shape & Measurement A menu.

Teachers and children can make their own from thin card or, with the help of the craft department or the local Mens' Shed, from wood.

Return to Resource Index

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 square or 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
They are also required for two Picture Puzzles in the Shape & Space A menu.

Teachers can make their own from wood with the help of the craft department or the local Mens' Shed. They can also be made from the 2cm wooden cubes available from Kembo-Cuisenaire. We know of one school where the children made the school's set of wooden Tricubes in craft classes.

Storing Tasks

Tasks packed in press-seal bags are very effective if you are intending to move tasks around the school. 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.

    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. eTask cards and almost all ancillary printing is A4 size, 21cm x 29.7cm. Laminate adds about 1cm to each dimension.Three tasks use A3 boards.
