3. Conclusion and Evaluation
Mathematics is not an abstract concept. It can not be learned or taught by reading or memorising it.
Learning by the way of group work which is one of the integrated approach theories encourages students to discuss, criticise and
be more attentive whilst rescuing them from memorising information. The researches and our observations show that students who
studies mathematics in group work comprehend problems in a better way, put forward new ideas, are in control of the objectives and
learn by applying what they understand instead of memorising mathematics that is mostly alleged formulae and their proofs.
Mathematical thinking improves with mathematical activities and mathematics is learned more easily in this way.
Mathematics originated from our daily needs and is here to guide us- people who are social beings. Group work in mathematics
education that starts from early childhood helps with both successes during lessons and in social life in the future.
