Abstract
This study explored Grade 11 Mathematics learners’ conceptual and procedural knowledge in solving algebraic equations using cooperative learning. This qualitative case study was carried out in a classroom setting in which 34 Grade 11 Mathematics learners participated. The data was collected using a round-table discussion and reflective interviews. The study shows that learners learn better when learning in groups than when learning as individuals. Thus, in this article, we argue that cooperative learning can develop conceptual understanding in solving algebraic equations.
