This presentation examines the conceptual and pedagogical implications of the Common Core's first practice standard (perseverance in problem solving) in the context of collaborative learning. Grounded in empirical examples of fifth-grade algebraic problem solving, the presentation explores the idea of encouraging and assessing "perseverance" as a collective capacity of students above and beyond individual effort.
