Abstract
As conveners of the ICMI Study 22: Task Design in Mathematics Education, we are in the privileged position of developing an overview of the issues and influences described in this volume and other areas of activity relevant for task design. In this chapter we summarise the state of this field of research and provide glimpses of the contents of each chapter, finally suggesting areas for progress in research. We also make an argument, from our own experience, for accessibility of such research for designers and practitioners.
