This wonderful book is a treasure house of beautifully designed mathematics tasks from authentic classroom experience in all school phases. Tasks are the heart of lessons, and a range of design principles are explained and exemplified, varying according to purpose and mathematical focus. The book oozes with respect for teachers' thinking as well as being founded in extensive knowledge about teaching and learning mathematics. It presents the wisdom and experience, tested in practice, of many mathematics teachers and educators, describing their work and making their principles and practices available for others to use. -- Anne Watson * Professor Emeritus, University of Oxford *
