Abstract
Researchers traced the learning processes of 26 low-achieving students studying subtraction of decimal numbers, as they worked in small groups within a rich learning environment involving a computerized game, play money, peer interactions and teacher mediation. Data sources were videotaped sessions, worksheets, observations, and pre-and post-program teacher evaluations. Results indicate that low achieving students can build new significant knowledge, to participate in a reflective mathematical discourse, and benefit from it. Yet, the setting of computer games with an attentive peer served a fertile platform for strategies to emerge and consolidate..
