Abstract
The paper investigates the effect of Collaborative Group Work (CGW) on students' attitude towards mathematics at elementary level in Pakistan. It documents the results of two case studies. Evidence was collected over one teaching term in an academic year in a usual classroom context in the form of observations, audio and video recordings, interviews, questionnaires and field notes. The purpose was to collect the data in classroom conditions that were as normal as possible. The paper is part of larger study so only questionnaire and interview data were taken for this as an evidence of the shift of students' attitude developed during intervention. The analysis of the attitudes to mathematics of students at the start, during and at the end of the teaching programme shows a positive change in students‟ attitudes over the period of the intervention.
