Abstract
<p>This study aimed to create a constructivist learning environment wherein third grade students talk to problem solve, which is different from traditional approaches to math learning. The study focused on the group talk and discussions to understand the students’ actions and interactions during the process of problem solving. Fifteen students and their teacher participated in the study, which was conducted within a collaborative action study design. Different types of problems were constructed including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students were divided into four groups and observed for four weeks as they solved the different types of problems through group discussion. In the study, it was observed that the students who took leadership roles in the groups during the problem solving activities lead discussions. Additionally, the study found that the students, who could not solve the problems individually, were able to contribute more to the problem solving activity in the group works.</p>
