Promote problem solving skills through collaboration & groupwork.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."- Helen Keller
- "Students who experience well-implemented groupwork have more opportunities to articulate
their thinking; exhibit deeper understanding and
retention of concepts; welcome the ideas of others and can
incorporate them into their own
strategies; and feel less isolated and anxious about
mathematics."
