Each of the following is a link is to a site with many good math tasks you can
explore for use in your classroom. Most are organized by grade level, standard, or
both. If you have a favorite site that is not listed here, or if you would like
assistance planning and orchestrating math tasks please email Tracy.

The purpose of the Mathematics Performance Task Bank is to provide
the classroom teacher with resources to assist in learning about and implementing
performance-based math assessments in the K - 8 classroom.
Explore materials and tasks aligned to the Common Core
standards that you can use immediately with your students. See videos of classroom lessons
aligned to the Common Core. You can search these materials by grade level as well as by
mathematical strand.
NCTM Classroom Resources NCTM has created a "Reasoning and Sense Making Task Library".
These include the Task Design, Teaching Design, and Student Engagement to help teachers
integrate the Common Core Standards in their classroom.
Illustrative Mathematics The Illustrative Mathematics Project provides guidance to states,
assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range
and types of mathematical work that students will experience in a faithful implementation of
the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation
of the standards. New materials have just been posted to show the types of teaching and tasks
that represent the standards. Keep checking back as this site will continue to build.
Search a growing assortment of Common Core-aligned tasks, units and
student work by keyword, grade level, subject area and Common Core Learning Standard.
A bank of free task resources.
Reynolds School District Task Bank
From 1993 to 2003, the Balanced Assessment in
Mathematics Program existed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The project group
developed a large collection of innovative mathematics assessment tasks for grades K to 12, and
trained teachers to use these assessments in their classrooms.
The library of over 300 mathematics assessment tasks developed during the project remains freely
available through this web site. Teachers may use these materials in their own classrooms at no cost.
