=Illustrative Mathematics Tasks=

The following are a series of tasks designed to allow teachers an opportunity to examine student work for evidence of the Standards for Mathematical Practice, a key component in the Massachusetts Curriculum Framwork for Mathematics and the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSSM). The tasks can be used individually or in combination with one another as an authentic, meaningful form of professional development. There are two tasks for each grade band: elementary, middle, and high school. Each task includes mathematical background information, a Math Metacognition prompt, an interesting, context-based math problem, student work samples of the given problem, protocol and questions to use to examine the student work, and an exploration designed to unpack the rigor of the given problem.
