The importance of group work in mathematics

In recent years, mathematics education is becoming more and more important as well as the increasing studies in this area. These studies show that it is not only sufficient to know mathematics but also it is essential to have competent educators whom are able to apply what they know and give mathematical thinking ability. In this study, we emphasise on learning in group work that is one of the integrated approaches of learning theories. Group work shows that students can improve their critical thinking and problem solving skills; furthermore, their way of expressing themselves becomes better. This method helps students learn interactively and efficiently.
