Identification and correction of mathematical errors
Collaborative learning is an approach that aims to promote teamwork among students, either in solving tasks, problems or creating a project. This type of learning is focused on the collaborative building of knowledge, teamwork, interpersonal communication, conflict management, development of critical thought and social skills, among others. Here, we propose the correction of resolutions of math exercises performed by the student or by other students.
Students are presented with solved exercises, by themselves or other colleagues.
Students analyse whether the resolutions presented are correct.
If there are errors, they should identify the errors and correct them.
Students present the results and debate them as a group.
