Abstract
This study explores how Collective Argumentation has given the students in a middle-school mathematics classroom a framework which allows them participate in mathematical discussions to develop the skills and desire to think, reason and work mathematically, where personal understandings can be expressed, re-considered, shared and co-authored. This has led to students sharing the authority and promoted student engagement.
