According to Vygotsky, children can perform more complex and difficult mathematics tasks with the help of a more advanced individual, extending their zone of proximal development (Berger, 2005).

The cooperative learning experience will also…

their knowledge through other people, interaction with teachers and their friend. Teachers have roles as arbiter the world for children through playing, ideas, experiences, question, and stories.
