dc.description.abstractCollaboration and collective problem solving have been promoted as essential components of the 21st century skills and can be fostered through group work. Yet we know little about how students are experiencing group work in Canadian mathematics classrooms. Our analysis of Kindergarten to Grade 9 students’ mathematical autobiographies shows that most students perceived group work as a way of offering and/or receiving help for individualized tasks but not necessarily as an opportunity for creative collaboration. Based on our analysis, we discuss the pedagogical implications for designing classrooms that can foster meaningful collaboration.en_US
