Abstract
After having discussed elements of task design, after having reviewed examples of tasks in national guidelines, after having analyzed in great depth two different geometrical tasks, we present in this chapter a variety of tasks which teachers reported implementing in their preschool classes. As you review these tasks, you may ask yourself: What are the affordances and constraints of each task? How may a task be varied to meet the needs of different children? Can the task be used to both promote and evaluate children’s knowledge? Would you implement such a task with young children? Why?
