Are you looking to extend your students’ mathematical thinking? Are you seeking ways to apply maths concepts you have taught engagingly and authentically? Are you after easy yet effective ways to differentiate and assess mathematical understandings? If so, these open-ended maths task cards are the perfect resource for your class.  

With 24 open-ended problems across a range of mathematics content areas, this set of cards challenges students to flexibly combine and apply a range of mathematical skills, with the opportunity to demonstrate multiple answers.

These task cards can be used for independent or guided practice. Selected cards can be used as formative assessment tools within focused units, or the set can be used throughout the year to continue to consolidate prior learning, regardless of your classroom’s current topic.

Designed with four problems per page and with the option of colour or black and white cards, simply print, cut and distribute to students. (They can also be laminated to be used again and again with different students).

Ensure your students get the most out of these challenges and know how to show their best thinking with our Solving Open-Ended Problems PowerPoint. Or you can have all the open-ended challenges in one place in our Open-Ended Maths Problems Booklet.
