Working in groups is the best way to allow to everyone to express his attitudes, because each  member of the group has a different task to get the activity succesfull and it is also a good occasion to promote friendship relations among the students

From the begging of  working of my students I have tried to inspire them to work as a team so we made an agreement and we wrote down all the factors that contribute to the collaborative learning; not only in math, but in all subjects. Certainly it isn’t so easy to make it but  I try to embedded collaborative strategies activities in my  classroom.

I chose to become a teacher. not because of the growing demands of standardized testing, the race to cover content, or the long work hours with little pay. You chose to become a teacher because of the connection you feel to your students. Beyond the daily academic expectations, you understand that a child’s  social and emotional an greatly impact their academic achievement.

The European Union has set five ambitious objectives on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate / energy, to be achieved by 2020. The School has a fundamental role in promoting multilingualism and the development of skills that help students belong and participate in society. Students should have an open mind to lead the initiatives to facilitate their employability, promotion of the economy and the regiment by values ​​that lead to sustainable growth and peace.

It is necessary to develop creativity, communication skills, collaboration, digital skills, critical thinking and personal and social responsibility. The development of these skills can be achieved in various ways among which fits the job based on collaborative projects involving schools from different parts of the world, stimulating the development of an awareness of "world citizenship".

Educational experiences that are active, social, contextual, engaging, and student-owned lead to deeper learning. The benefits of collaborative learning include:

·       Development of higher-level thinking, oral communication, self-management, and leadership skills.

·       Promotion of student-faculty interaction.

·       Increase in student retention, self-esteem, and responsibility.

·       Exposure to and an increase in understanding of diverse perspectives.

·       Preparation for real life social and employment situations.

In my classes I have all kinds of students, with very different Math skills. So I try to use that as positive factor and I always ask students to help and oversee their table colleague.

Sometimes I do work in pairs or small group to put in practice collaborative learning. I think the most important is to clearly inform the students about the rules and objectives of the work and what is expected.

great idea not only for teaching maths as a social activity but also for developping mathematical thinking through students explanations!

I'm not completely agree with this project because sometimes maybe a few children, need to improve their knowledge by themselves. otherwise it'is important introduce cooperative learning,or work in pairs activities during while children can express their abilities and creativity. a risk of the cooperative learning consist of breaking the rules, and allow some children step over others. I prefer peer education and learning discovering.

I totally agree with the idea and kind of activities introduced in the video. I use collaborative work in my class and the largest part of the time is used to understand how it works, the rules for working in group. At the beginning it is really difficult, but when it starts to become a routine, you see all the advantages; students can use their specific abilities to bring thir contribute in the group and they really enjoy to have success together. the atmosphere in the class is nice and exciting.

I'm agree with the idea presented in the video that only by getting students to collaborate we can address the diversity of learners in the classroom. But I think also that the students need a time for individual work after the social activities.

I strongly believe in the importance of developing Social Skills in order to be able to learn anything from any subject. Apart from the interaction that I have with my students when building a new piece of knowledge, I usually recommend them to work in pairs. I organised the seats at the begining of the course according to their language and maths abilities so they can help each other. Sometimes they act as teachers so the have to explain something for the rest of us.

# data[].attributes.body
Maths learning and Social Skills learning can deeply support each other . I believe children need to build up their knowledge and competences only by collaborating and  sharing their ideas and strategies, according to their different levels of abilities. I use lot of group/pair- work in maths class, afterwards each child share his/her ideas which are discussed together. At the end of the discussion all the ideas are displayed on a poster where ideas are explicated using children's words on one side and MAths Language on the other side.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that collaboration i s good way to raise the students social skills and self-confidence as well as their knowledge. I try to use better students to help others and its opportunity for them to renew their knowledge and not to be bored. The same way they can get help in other situations so nobody feels ignorant or less worthy

# data[].attributes.body
I often ask students to work in small groups or pairs to make math exercises . In this way they can help each other or tutoring each other.
This teach them to work in group.
One problem is that if they they work with someone a little bossy they fell stupid. It's important that they work with someone they can trust and with who they can share their doubts without problems.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion collaboration among the students is basilar for learning. In my classroom I have a lot of stranger students, so I often use the tutoring or cooperative learning to obtain good results. The students meet each other and understand different cultures or methodologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that collaboration is a quality that is taught and most children in Greece haven’t learned to work together as a team. They misbehave, they talk too loud, best students solve the problem quickly to show that they know, while lazy students don’t bother at all. It’s more difficult and tiring for a teacher to do this, so we prefer the traditional teaching most of the time. I use collaboration and team work mostly on activities, like outdoor ones, or watching a video and discuss about it, or making a small project, but, for the most time, I use traditional methods. I must say I have to try harder and teach them that way of learning!

# data[].attributes.body
My kids often work in groups because:
- they like working togheter, rather than working alone;
- they share ideas and come more easily to a solution;
- everyone has to take part to the job, but if someone is in difficulty, they know that they can count on a classmate to finish the work;
- the process is as much as important as the final result, and work in groups helps this through verbalisation.

Cooperative learning is a way that you really like my students. Classes furniture is mobile, it can be easily arranged. I formed the group, usually 4-6 students. Each group has the same theme. Finally showing product groups. It makes "gallery tour" students make assessments on products from other teams.

Collaborative learning is for sure much more effective. I am not sure that can do something like that in my class. I teach Math to students who are going to have national exams at the end of the year and the curriculum is very difficult to follow.Students and teachers are in a great pressure to be in a specific point every month. Collaboration need time.
But... I have another class in Algebra for younger students.
I even evaluate them in groups! Last week they had a test in groups. Theyare not familliar in this evaluation. Collaboration is the tool to learn in a different way, appreciate different way of thinking, develop creativity and work ethics and, above all, learn to work well with others to achieve same goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the cooperative learning is crucial to develop skills: mathematical, social and civic skills. It is important to organize the groups and the space well, heterogeneous grupos or homogeneous groups according to need. It is  important to give a role to each member of the group: to encourage participation, to promote the inclusion and motivation. Some roles tha I Often attribute: strategist, supporter, spokeman.. I often ask members of the group come up with a name for the group and a logo. PW~ �a')

I think collaborative learning in the classroom is a very important strategy to improve both social skills and learning. For this reason I often assign works to do in team of 3-4 students in my classroom.

At the end of the lesson I check some student’s  work in order to give an assessment and discuss about the possible solutions of the problem assigned for the group activity.

This was a very good video from Willard. Working together on math is very important and the language of math is not used in social communication if they are not allowed to use it in communication. My students love to work on group projects and present it for the class. They find it more related to the self than sit by their table and doing arithmetic.

I use a lot of pair & group work. Two strategies I mostly use are Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving and Think-Pair-Share. Using collaborative strategies in math lessons is important as students have the chance to talk about math and their thinking process ..... and this may support us addressing the diversity of learners in the classroom.

It's very hard to organize collaborative learning in the class of more then 30 students. When I make groups I mix students of different level of knowledge. They mostly like this kind of learning, but there is always few of them who lead and do the most of the tasks and some students who don't want to participate.

I usually use collaborative learning in classroom. Collaborative learning is a very important strategy to improve social skills but also to improve learning. With collaborative learning student play a central place in learning processes.

When I watch videos like this, I'd like to work in a different country. I have a classroom in which I can not even place the desks in order to facilitate the collaborative learning. My reflection is that also environment is important when we have to organise social activities. I think collaborative works are very useful. I'd like to organise more, but I feel discourged because we lack "vital" space and good means to do a real interesting and significant work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that getting students to collaborate is a good idea. I usually create mixed groups to do exercise during my lessons. There is a leader, who has to explain, and from 1 to 3 children who have to understand the exercise. In this way students who are able to do exercise can share their strategies with students who have some problems. I observe that with this kind of job also student who usually doesn’t work... works! Bad students, sometimes, correct good students!

I have started from last year to introduce group and pair works in my weekly activity.
I schedule three lessons monthly, based on pair work (once at week) and one lesson on cooperative learning group work (the remaining week of the month), in which I also assign roles within the group (quality control manager, paperboy, lawyer, doctor). I have been setting the groups randomly, with the use of this software https://www.randomlists.com/team-generator.
At the end of the lesson I check some pupils' work in order to give an assessment, and in the following lesson we discuss about the possible solutions of the problem assigned for the group activity.
When we end the cooperative learning session, we also discuss about the notes taken by the doctors, who have to analyze during the activity the behavior of the group and of all its components.

This approach is so holistic. ​I loved watching his class and the comfort of how they expressed themselves. I wish i can inspire my students in this manner. I do give space to my students to work in groups and share ideas. I also encourage students to help each other and allow them to explain to each other what they have understood.

I use with my students group working when we are making activities like exercises on advanced topics or when we are going to computer lab.
I agree with the idea presented in the video, but, working with high school students, I have to take in account some extra attentions because boys tends to be very noisy, to be distracted by chatting with their friends and trying to use their smartphones.
I try to build group with mixed levels, skills and abilities or in an homogeneous way depending on the aim of the group work.

I enjoyed this video as it addresses some of the concerns I have in my classroom. I have 29 children of different abilities.

I think that a collaborative work is very useful to understand  and to send out . I often use such a work in my classrooms becouse I sow excellent  results in the group working for  games for teams  ( see http://www.dmi.units.it/divulgazione/matCultSoc/olimpia13/)

Apply the peer tutoring for exercises and to consolidate the knowledge. Or to compensate for the different modes of being: the chatty with the shy, the specimen with those who have difficulties.

Compared to cooperative learning still I have to figure out how to build groups with "each with its own contribution to make." Groups where differences are valued and accepted.

Before I could create in the classroom an atmosphere where there was "respect for everyone, just as it is." Now I can not.

What is holding me back is the being alone. The fear of not being understood. And behold, the classic lecture creates fewer problems.

Although the classes often ask: "we begin to build the class that we want. Where we can all feel good."
But I still have to figure out how.

And then as you evaluate the different contributions? What roles?

My students and I like to create collaborative activities, like group work. It isn't easy with some 13-14 years old group of students. Some of them take advantage of the oportunety of being together and start talking with each other about other things rather tham work. That's the most dificulty I see when I try this kind of activities. This year I'm glad my classes knows how to work in pars ans in groups: we already made esplorations activities, some of them using the computer, and it tourn out just fine!

Once a month students perform group works in classroom. Each group is mixed and balanced by teacher. They have to solve a problem together and to choose only a response by the group. They try to discuss and debate to reach the final response. The debate starts quickly, because the teacher doesn‘t    suggest whether  the answer is right or wrong. The teacher, simply and firmly, says: Nobody knows the right answer.

I strongly believe that cooperation works! I use Cooperative Learning as much as I can, and my students often work in pair to solve problems such as the one shown in the video. With my new pupils, which are only 6 years old, I'm still working on "basic" agreeements...for example, they are Learning to respect their turn of speaking, and we often use a paper microphone to help themselves to remember this rule.

# data[].attributes.body
I my classes, sometime I use cooperative learning, sometimes I use peer to peer learning. So my students work in pairs or in groups of 4-5 people. When they work in pairs, one compensate and help the other that has more difficulties or learning disabilities.
Cooperative learning groups have to promote social experiences, a full inclusion of kids with special needs, the indipendence and responsibility of every student.
Sometimes I experienced some problems with these activities when some student works or contributes less than the others, or when in the same group there are students that  don't get well toghether.

# data[].attributes.body
In my lessons I often use a collaborative activity to stimulate the capacity of each pupil. I divide the classroom in small groups with maximum 4 students. The students in each group have different level of maths ability. One is the tutor that help the others to resolve a real problem. At the end of the work each student have to explain the result and how they have gone to it.

What I have used in my class is having students work in pairs or small groups of 3-4 in the "investigate" part of the lesson, which is usually the opening activity, where they have to discover one or more solutions to a problem or a situation. I have also used group work when organizing a maths games period, where they have to share materials like dice or calculators to play the games. They usually work in groups when given Dienes cubes or other teaching material. Sometimes they find it hard to learn how to share or to respect each other's working pace and not rushing to complete a task before their classmate hasn't even begun to think! I also use peer-assessment where students exchange textbooks and point to one another their mistakes. I think that's a very useful way to help them correct their own work later.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborative work is very important, because students can teach each other and they learn more by other students

# data[].attributes.body
I do some work in pairs or groups. When presenting a work I always follow:
Objectives of the work
Phases of work
During the work (commitment, participation, problem solving, behavior).
End product (research, collaboration and creativity)

# data[].attributes.body
In my teaching practice I am giving more importance to collaborative learning.
As students have more and more problems to solve for themselves the exercises and attention in class.
Many times I do the collaborative work where I assign each member of the group or part or procedure to work and expose it first to a group of four.
Then each one exposes his work, to another group of 8 students. Then they are exposed to a group of 16 and at the end to the complete class.
I want everyone to become an expert in a subject and be able to explain it because then it means that he is able to understand it.Each one can use the resources he wants.
They get used to working with all their peers, and not only with their friends and assume different responsibilities and roles.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I divide the class in groups (3 or 4 students) and I give them the same problem or for each group a different problem. I try to give them problems from the real life situations or interdisciplinarity problems.
They like it, but sometimes there are some students who don't pay attention or there are some students who want to show the others their skills and they don't listen. On the other hand, there are students who learn better if one of the his/her colleges  explains the problem or the situation.
Its a good way to work as a team, to collaborate, to listen to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
Group projects can reinforce skills that are relevant to both group and individual work such as the ability to plan and manage time. Understanding through discussion and explanation makes students develop stronger communication skills.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classes, I always try to provide the collaborative work between peers. In groups not always is the best way because some are working and others are talking and that leads, sometimes, to noise!

Both are a way for communication between them to interact with each other and take away their doubts with the mediator, the teacher!

In my classes, this year, one of 45 minutes class, our 25 students are divided in 2 groups by 2 teachers in different rooms. For now it’s working! :)

# data[].attributes.body
In my teaching practice I'm definitely increasing the moments of cooperative and collaborative learning because my students are more active and motivated. I often use collaborative activity wherever material can be segmented into separate components. Each group member becomes an expert on a different concept or procedure and teaches his or her concept to the group. For example I use this activity when covering factoring of polynomial. I form base groups of four students. Students count off from one to four, and I distribute a work sheet for each case. The work sheets have five sample polynomials that I have made up for the students to factor, plus a space for each student to make up five problems. Students form new groups by combining with other students who have been assigned the same case number, again four to a group. The students work together to determine what is unique about their cases. They are, in effect, becoming experts in the case to which they have been assigned. In the next step, students develop a teaching strategy to take back to their base groups. At this stage, they make up their own problems. Each student practices his or her explanation with the case group. Finally, the students return to their base groups and teach the case they have been studying. There is no set way in which students must teach their material, so the results are quite varied. This activity helps students understand what teaching mathematics involves. It also leads to interesting classes. Students learn how to work with different partners and begin to see that they can indeed assume responsibility for their own learning.

These are some of my fourteen-year students while they're doing a job in collaborative mode

often I use group activities before my lesson.
I write a question, a problem and their work in a group and then with a brainstorming we decide the best solution

Formative assessment teaches us it is important to do paired evaluation, students preparing tests for students, getting feedback from each other. I mostly use these ways, but also group work (in groups of four, mostly).

I usually use cooperative learning with students divided in pairs or small groups (3 or 4 students).
I give them work that they need to do together and work that they need to do alone.
In that way, they are learning to work with each other and also with work alone they are learning to be more independent and more responsible for their own work.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classes I use to work in pairs. Peers working is a very good collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not so sure that this is the only way to address diversity, but I know for sure that it is a very convenient way with remarkable results. I try this method with students 15-18 years old and there are many benefits for everyone:

Those who explain, learn better

Those who listen or ask learn better from their classmates because they use the same "language".

The teacher is more sure that many more students understand than if he was only teaching, writing on the blackboard.

But, for this to happen, there must be a rule: An the end of each task, everyone in the team must be able to explain the solution.
Of course, sometimes we face problems such as: a)students may not want to cooperate with each other, or with a certain student, b)students who are not used to cooperative work brake the rules by being offensive or by not accepting other's ideas etc. I know now that any problem has a solution, but in the beginning it was difficult for me.

Collaboration is very important in teaching

# data[].attributes.body
I believe collaborative activities can work in class very well in primary school. For me i can see collaborative learning happening in the context of a written project or a presentation given to small groups of students to prepare. I also think that sometimes cooperative learning  can be achieved through questions in class like "how do we proceed from that" or "is it right to do this or that" etc where discussion can occur between students - teacher or between students themselves. In some occasions students might offer a better way to answer their peers than the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
I sometimes use cooperative learning, dividing students in groups. During this activity I observe their behavior, if they partecipate, how they work in group and I've noticed that they are more motivated: even shy students participate and the less good at math try to learn because they feel responsible to the group when they shall report. Applying  the cooperative learning, students are aware of the importance of the contribution of each to the common work and thus develops mutual respect and team spirit. In the meantime the social and emotional aspects of learning  are considered too.

# data[].attributes.body

Sometimes I use group work in my classes, encourage them to help each other, explain things. I have a group. We call it middle math. They're learning about a law of sines now. One of my less motivated student tried to ask some direction from another girl . What I have noticed. She was getting troubled. I stepped in and explained how could she handle the situation.
In my advanced math group I have a really clever boy. He always helps his classmates. I think his illustrative skills are pretty good by now.
I encourage my students to explain each other math. Maybe that's why the other student can better get it.
In this year I ask them to express oneself more precisely. We correct it, discuss it.

# data[].attributes.body
Cooperative learning is very important to reach subjects' and socila competences.

# data[].attributes.body
In each lesson, after the correction of the tasks, you start to talk about the subject of the day, starting with their knowledge, very often I make them questions, answers and ideas born and the studen discuss. What emerges from the discussion is the starting point to begin to talk about a new topic or to continue on previously treated arguments.

In my school a room is assigned to the pupils, they work and stay in it for most of the lessons, there isn't the space to make a circle. I use the circle for socio-affective activities, however, are forced to move in the garden or in the hall of the school and we sit on the floor.

I think collaborative learning is a great method  but it is not easy to apply. I usually organise my lessons in 3 main steps:
-Homework review ( in a collective prospective)
-introducing something new ( in some different ways)
- apply the new thing in a collaborative way, usually in pairs.
In my school we don't have round tables or things like that. We can't move students easily and we don't have a dedicated math room. Students stay in the same space, everytime, everyday, indipendently on the teacher/subject. Teachers move from classroom to classroom, together with their "toolboxes". Sometimes it is not easy to manage...

# data[].attributes.body
I think that students who worked collaboratively on math computational problems, earned significantlyhigher scores than those who worked alone.
I think collaborative strategies very useful. Students in difficult can take ispiration from the other.

I have various types of children in our classes, with different styles of learning and different expectations after the final exams. I usually start my lessons verifying their homework and asking them if there were any difficulties. Work in pairs, homogeneous or heterogeneous

groups , teams is very attractive to my students and I try to involve as many students as I can. The lesson is ended through a feedback from the student's part or mine.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with the idea presented in the video. We have often to face different levels of comprehensions in our classroom since not all students have the same bent for catching quickly new information. Collaborative strategies let us overcome this difficulty getting students to share their knowledge, exploiting and improving their skills. Of course we need to weigh the situation, plan the right time for these activities, organize groups of students with not too different abilities and divide tasks considering the student's skills.

# data[].attributes.body
My lessons are divided into several parts.
​In the first one, I ask if there are some questions about the homework and I try to solve the problems of misunderstanding.
In the second one, I introduce the lesson goal: it can be a new topic, a development of the previous one and so on.
In the third, I propose a collaborative work, the students have to investigate or to solve some problems in groups. Sometimes they are divided into homogeneous groups and sometimes in atherogenic groups.
​At the end, I try to summarise what they have discovered and what they have understood. This part is the most complex to realise because the groups don't work with the same speed and there are some groups that finish before and others that don't' finish in time.
​The confusion grows up and the students who don't have something to do disturb the others.
​I have to improve this point.
​I'm looking forward to adopting new suggestion!

I often use collaborative learning: when I finish explaining the lesson, I assign problems/exercises,
when i divide the class in heterogeneous groups. In this way the students more skilled help those who have more difficulty.

I use cooperative learning quite often , especially pair job that is very easy to set and can be done after a theoretical explanation, for instance. This morning in my 11th grade class I explained how they can find the sign of a quadratic equation’s roots with a bottom-up approach and I asked students to help me to find this. We decided we needed to know if the equation had real roots, so we had to study the sign of the delta and then brainstorming we studied the sign of the coefficients and, using Descartes’ rule we finally arrived to a solution. Then to be sure all of them understand what we did, I asked them to work in pairs and solve e similar problem. Can I ask you a real-world problem Next time I’ll give them this “real-world” problem: “You are the manager of a cruise company that is running a service of trips on a river. You that ak hour river cruise goes 3k km upstream and then back again. The river has a current of k-1 km an hour. What is the boat's speed and how long was the upstream journey? When you are sure you can organize a cruise depending on the value of k?“. On Monday I’ll tell you what it will happen…

I think that if they work in group they can have many benefits: first of all they decide in some way their pace, they must be active (especially if the group is small) and they learn better as they have to explain their idea and they must listen to their mate(s). It is not true that a team of not too brilliant students is weaker than one were there are some brilliant ones: everything depends on how they work together and for instance in this class socializing is very important, as they don’t like each other very much… But they must learn that they have to cope with this situation...

I try to make my students works in groups each time  they work on exercises. Most of the time, they speak about the exercises, they try more than if they were alone in t heir on table.
I also ask the students to explain instead of me when we are in class
