Task Templates are a way for you to save time by accessing tasks that you (or another teacher in your school) had previously made. There are also some useful templates that Mathspace has created for you. If you have not yet made any templates, please see Create a Template - clicking on "Create Template" will follow the same process.

You can find your templates by clicking on the Task Templates icon on the left panel, and then clicking on "Templates". For more information about organising Templates into Template Groups and bulk assigning of Templates, please see Task Template Groups.

You can find your templates by using the filters provided and by using the search bar. To make searching easier and to enhance collaboration, we recommend establishing a naming convention within your school.

There are also some helpful task templates provided by Mathspace. In particular, there are Tutorial tasks which is a fantastic way to introduce new classes and students to Mathspace in a gentle way that helps them get used to answering questions on Mathspace without having to tackle new mathematics at the same time.

When you click on a template, you will get a chance to review all the questions. There will also be a summary of the number of questions in the template, as well as the estimated time for completion.

Clicking on "Assign task" will open up a flyout to enter task details, similar to the final stage of Create a Custom Task.

The "Actions" button allows you to:

  • Add the template to a group/folder,

  • Archive it,

  • Duplicate the template - enables teachers to duplicate a template and save it to another group for easy reuse.

  • View worked solutions - enables teachers to access detailed solutions for questions within task templates.

Clicking "Edit" allows teachers to make changes without duplicating:

  • Add or remove questions,

  • Edit the title, description, or group.

Save Options: After editing, teachers can:

  • Save as a new template,

  • Save changes to the existing template.

Original Author: Teachers can see who the original author of the template is, promoting awareness when making changes.

Warning Message: A warning appears when saving changes to remind teachers: "This template was originally created by [Original Author]" to prevent mistakes.
