Summary:This paper presents a Web-based system implementing cooperative type strategies in a suitable environment for learning math, and a pilot study aiming to investigate students' metacognitive processes in mathematical problem-solving supported by networked technology. By stimulating students' mental processes, our system should enable them to develop higher level math skills and acquire problem solving abilities. The cultural hypotheses underlying the project are not only the studies on cooperative learning and on the role of this approach in teaching/learning mathematics, but also the assumption, confirmed by various studies, of the effectiveness of computer supported cooperative learning.
