Humans naturally thrive when reasoning and learning from each other, and this approach can be particularly effective in the mathematics classroom, where students bring diverse learning styles, skills, and ability levels. Encouraged by their peers, students become more engaged in activities, leading to more efficient learning and enhanced social interaction skills. By fostering a collaborative environment, students not only achieve academic success but also develop critical social skills, preparing them for future interactions both inside and outside the classroom. This session explores practical ideas for group collaboration, presenting learning activities and resources that promote teamwork while recognising individual efforts. Join us as we delve into strategies for an effective collaborative learning.

Key takeaways:
1. Collaborative learning emphasises the importance of working together toward a shared goal while acknowledging individual contributions and achievements.
2. Achieving a goal as part of a team is a rewarding experience.
3. The ability to work in a team is a powerful predictor for success in the workplace.
