    description de l'activité / description of the activity: Divide students into teams (I used a bag of colored cubes for them to choose randomly), have them self-prepare new material as a group for competition, then each team was given a math test to solve collaboratively. First team to solve the math test (correctly) wins.

    l'objectif de l'activité / the goal of the activity: Group learning provides a supportive environment, where students can both explain concepts in simpler terms, and think critically by discussing multiple approaches to problems. Team competition teaches pressure in a low-pressure environment, and develops students' resilience by learning from teammate's mistakes.
