The NCTM journal Mathematics Teacher: Learning & Teaching PK-12 is seeking manuscripts for its new All Tasks Issue. This issue is an opportunity to share a favorite mathematical task that engages students in several skills while using mathematical reasoning. Submit by Oct. 31.
Manuscripts will be brief (limit 1,500 words, including references) and provide insights to see the thinking behind the task, as well as the impact of the task. Key elements of a manuscript may include: sharing the task (key features), how you have implemented the task (guidance on introducing and question posing), and/or illustrations of how students have engaged with the task (student work, pictures, dialogue). A task sheet that can be copied and given to students also needs to be included.
You do not need to be a researcher, just have an impactful task and story to share! The Center for Science, Mathematics and Computer Education is willing to help you craft your idea into a manuscript. Email us at mleadabrand2@unl.edu to get connected with a faculty member who can help!
The All Tasks Issue invites NCTM members who teach at all grade levels (PK-12) to submit their go-to math task that sparks deeper thinking, discussion, and "aha!" moments. These tasks could be models of real-world situations, help with challenging concepts, or one that gets students to collaborate. MTLT believes your classroom experience matters and wants to spotlight it!
Submission deadline is Oct. 31, 2025, and the All Tasks Issue will be published in July 2026. Download the call for proposals [PDF].
