See more “light bulb moments” in your students without sacrificing your ENTIRE weekend!

Kia ora!

Top Teaching Tasks has a simple beginning:.a teacher creating resources to use with my own children at home. As those resources were made available online we soon realised that in-depth, trustworthy, and creative resources specific to (and inclusive of) all our New Zealand students were desperately needed. 

We don’t create one page worksheets and call it a “resource”.
Our activities are thorough, comprehensive, and unique.

Teachers’ plates are overflowing with day-to-day teaching, extracurricular activities, and time with families. Real talk: Teachers simply don’t have time to research and create resources every single week

As the need for high-quality resources increased, Top Teaching Tasks has grown from a family-owned business to include several local teachers collaborating on fun learning collections for our classrooms. 

Our backgrounds are varied, but our mission is the same: to create relevant, interesting, curriculum-aligned activities on a wide range of topics and subjects for students from new entrants through to Year 8.

Our teachers depend on resources that they don’t need to spend days creating, hours scouring the internet, or having to check every page for accuracy.

There’s something to suit every level in your classroom. Available in print-out PDFs and online digital activities, so you have the freedom to teach in the way that suits you and your learners best.

That’s our team’s forever commitment to you! 

When students enjoy school, they’re motivated, they show up, and participate.
*That’s* when learning happens.

SAVE HOURS IN PLANNING

INTRODUCING…

Out-of-the-box resources that give you your weekends back

 

Reclaim your time with ready-to-use, multi-level digital & printable teaching resources.

Teachers, help your students:

  • Become more confident and ready to tackle new subjects (“hey, look what I can do!”)
  • Get excited to do difficult things and be a-ok even if they don’t succeed the first time.
  • Develop perseverance, resilience, and an “I CAN”! Attitude.
  • Discover 21st century skills that will help prepare them for the future.
  • Achieve in collaborative and team environments as they learn to work together, have discussions,
    and support each other to complete a task.
  • Increase class attendance as students are eager to come to school and learn 
    (even on days when there’s *no* scheduled school trips).

Plus join like minded local teachers in our private community where we share examples of unique ways to use your resources, highlight *new* resources, and help you find useful activities for current events.

“THE RESOURCES ARE FANTASTIC, EXCITE THE STUDENTS, AND ENABLE THEM TO DEVELOP RESEARCHING SKILLS”

“My membership has exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be renewing next year. I have also recommended you and your resources to a number of other teachers at our school. Thank you so much for your resources, they are fantastic, excite the students, and enable them to develop researching skills and to embed knowledge. They have saved me time, allowing me to be able to focus on addressing the growing social/emotional needs of a number of students that I have had this year. And importantly to be able to claim back some family time on weekends.”

Once you are logged in as a member, head to the Resource section and find a resource you would like to download. Click the download button and the resource will download directly onto your device.

A ZIP file is a compressed folder containing multiple files. It allows you to transfer many files at once, and takes up less storage space than the files would if they were not compressed. It’s also an easy way for us to distribute many files together, like discounted bundles.

Opening a ZIP file using Microsoft Windows:Right-click on the unopened ZIP folder.
Choose “Extract All” from the menu that opens.
Choose a destination. This is the place where you want to keep the unzipped files. You can choose “My Documents,” for example.
Click “Extract.”

You can also locate the file and extract it after downloading from Google Chrome by following these steps:
After downloading the file, locate it using the download bar at the bottom of the Google Chrome browser, and click to open the Extraction Tool.
Click on the button at the top of the page that says “Extract All.”
After extraction is complete, a new folder window will open containing the files inside the ZIP. If you see a folder named _MACOSX, you can delete or ignore it. Those files are created when the ZIP is made on a Mac, and are not used by Windows.

For further information, see the Microsoft help guide here.

If your computer runs Mac OSX:Double-click the unopened ZIP — the file should extract automatically. If that doesn’t work, hold down the control key and click the ZIP file icon. Choose “Open With” and then select “Archive Utility.” The utility will extract the ZIP files, and you can find them in the same folder where you downloaded them.

I’ve tried these instructions but I’m still having trouble opening a ZIP file

For a simple solution that works on Windows and Mac OSX, we recommend extracting ZIP files online using one of these free websites:
– wobzip.org

– unzip-online.com

For any other Zip file related issues, or for further assistance, please contact us.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader – it’s free to download here (https://get.adobe.com/reader/).

  1. Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Reader
  2. Click ‘File’ then scroll down to ‘Print’
  3. In the ‘Page Sizing & Handling’ section, select “Shrink Oversized Pages” if needed
  4. Print the document – make sure to check the settings if you want colour print outs

No. All of our resources are PDF digital downloads for you to print out.

“THIS HAS SAVED ME HOURS OF PLANNING!”

“If you buy this membership you will not regret it. This has saved me hours of planning! I love that although I teach Year 7-8, I need differentiated resources for some students, and this makes that so easy. This started with my love for the school journal activities and now is the first palace I turn to when I need something! Heaven sent in lockdown too!
