Norms - Set the class norms for optimal respect/responsibility in teams & reward it when you see it. Schools that have a campus-wide norm system can tap into that for math class. See some suggestions below.
In contrast to rules, which are (usually) teacher generated and work best when introduced on the first day, norms are "an agreement among members of a classroom or school about how they will treat one another," according to Gary Borich, Professor of Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin.Aug 12, 2014The Science Behind Classroom Norming | Edutopia

Another Norms poster I have used successfully for years is T.E.A.C.H. Students are entertained by the idea that "teach" can anagram to "cheat". The point can be made that collaboration is not cheating:)
