A DISCUSSION ON MATHEMATICS LEARNING TASKS AND A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL

Tasks have a central role and important applications in the recently restructured High School Mathematics Teaching Curriculum (HSMTC) which has been implemented in Turkey. To be better understood the task HSMTC should be discussed intuitively and conceptually in terms of the national and international literature about mathematics education by handling it with its samples. The purpose of this study is to examine the conceptual understanding of activities, and the structure of various types of activities, and their applications in terms of the HSMTCʹs perspective in order to generate a discussion and research environment, and reach a classification from the authorsʹ perspectives. In this study, definition of "task" followed by a classification in relation to mathematics learning is given. In this context, the characteristics and examples of classification are presented as isomorphic, projective, linear and composite task. It is expected that the study will guide mathematics teachers in the improvement of mathematics learning.
