Does Math Trailblazers make use of collaborative learning?
A. Scientists and mathematicians have always worked in groups and the benefits of collaborative work in schools are well known. Math Trailblazers includes a balance of group work, individual work, and whole class instruction. Many activities are intended to be carried out in groups of two or more students who work together. These include relatively long (three- to five-day) activities and shorter problem-solving tasks.
