Collaborative Thinking Routines in 1:1 Computing Learning Environments
The integration of collaborative thinking routines with the use of ICT tools facilitates teachers’ orchestration of Mathematics talk, providing support and scaffold students in working collaboratively to achieve a deeper understanding of concepts or to come up with solutions that they do not previously know.
Deepening Mathematics Understanding through Flipped Team-based Learning
The five stages of flipped team-based learning helps students learn concepts and solve problems collaboratively. The stages include completion of independent home-based learning, individual learning tasks and group activities e.g. negotiating answers, and apply concepts learnt to solving new problems.
Developing Mathematical Problem Solving Skills through Think Aloud
Make mathematical thinking visible by using screencasting and think aloud strategies as learning scaffolds. Adapted from Polya's four-step problem-solving process, these think aloud strategies are simple structures that students can use repeatedly during problem-solving until it becomes a habit of thinking.
Participatory Learning in Mathematics
Students perform Mathematical practices in an online collaborative learning environment, and teachers use collaborative learning technologies to create and organise space that encourages students to share their knowledge. In these environments, students discuss and investigate Mathematical ideas by assuming different roles to offer supporting or contrasting views.
