The volume offers a collection of materials to organize a mathematics learning programme using peer tutoring, a teaching-learning method focused on group activities that allows each student to contribute with their skills and competences.
After a theoretical section on methodology, the book presents a preliminary training in the introduction of peer tutoring to illustrate to the students what it consists of and to strengthen some of their social skills. It proposes over 120 photocopiable cards for classes from 2nd to 5th grades which peer partners can use to practice specific disciplinary contents. In its various applications, peer tutoring promotes positive and long lasting effects on students’ academic performance, task involvement, emotional and cognitive aspects, classroom behaviour and social skills.
The peer tutoring programme objectives:
Cooperative Learning
Cooperative learning is a teaching/learning method focused on group activities, structured according to precise principles, which has demonstrated a formidable effectiveness both in promoting school learning and developing civil coexistence skills, as well as in stimulating different and diverse intelligences and learning styles. It represents a fully adequate response to the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs, since it is based on the principle according to which each member of the group, with their unique and special characteristics, can contribute to everyone’s learning and everyone can become a resource for others.

This volume offers a collection of materials to organize a mathematics learning programme for primary school pupils using peer tutoring, a teaching-learning method focused on group activities that allows each pupil to contribute with their skills and competences.
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Cooperative learning is a teaching-learning method focused on group activities structured according to precise principles. It has shown a formidable effectiveness both in promoting school learning and in the development of social skills, and in stimulating different intelligences and different styles of learning. Furthermore, peer tutoring represents a fully adequate response to the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs, since it is based on the principle according to which each member of the group, with its unique and special characteristics, can contribute to learning, and everyone can be a resource for others.
THE BOOKS
Learning mathematics with peer tutoring begins with a theoretical section on methodology, after which a preliminary training to the introduction of peer tutoring is presented to illustrate to the students what it consists of and to strengthen some of their social skills. It also offers over 120 photocopiable worksheets for classes from second to fifth grades, which peer couples can use to practice specific disciplinary contents: the four operations, mental calculations, fractions equivalencies, powers, etc., while alternating between the role of tutor and tutee. The books also contains sheets that help the teacher to schedule and evaluate each meeting. In its various applications, peer tutoring promotes positive and lasting effects on students’ academic performance, task involvement, emotional and cognitive aspects, behaviour in the classroom and social skills. In addition, it facilitates the building of relationships related to the learning context that are important for each pupil, but critical for those in difficulty.
