Welcome! Non-Curricular Task Sharing Sheet
2
3
This is a working document to collect information and resources for non-curricular tasks. As defined in Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics book, non-curricular tasks are clearly mathematical in nature, but do not map well to specific outcomes or standards specified in the curriculum. These tasks should be highly engaging, rich problem-solving, non-routine tasks. These tasks are used to "prime the class" and set the stage for building a thinking classroom. Then, the class will be ready to move on to curricular thinking tasks.

This sheet has a different tab for each grade band. Some tasks may span more than one grade band so please include it in all applicable tabs. Check out the "search for tasks" tab for great websites to find other tasks.

Please add to it! Try to provide as much detail as possible (similar to a sub plan) so that a teacher can just "run" with it!
