Submissions for the Reasoning and Sense Making Task Library

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics seeks additional high school tasks to include in the Reasoning and Sense Making Task Library. These tasks are designed to engage students in reasoning and sense making in the classroom. Each item in the library includes the task design, how it might be used in the classroom, and how students might respond—see tasks already included in the Task Library for more information. If you have a task that could be included in this collection, please use the form below to let us know about it.

Before completing the form below, please…

If your idea is approved, you will be asked to develop your task more fully using the Reasoning and Sense Making Task Template. Fully developed descriptions of tasks that have been classroom tested should then be resubmitted for further review.

Reasoning and Sense Making
