Research on co-operative learning methods has long established that pupils learn mathematics significantly better if they work in small groups structured in a specific way. That is, they learn best if they work in 4-member groups toward a common goal, and if achieving that goal depends on the individual learning of all team members. Recent work in the UK has added to co-operative learning the use of embedded multimedia, brief video segments to model co-operative behaviours and show how they apply in many contexts. This presentation will review existing research on co-operative learning in maths and will describe a 40-school randomised study currently under way evaluating the technology adaptation.
