Question

Mr. Smith is grouping his fifth-grade students for a cooperative learning project that will span class periods for two weeks. He has 5 groups of four plus one group of three. He places boys and girls in different groups and made sure the students who are perceived by their peers to be different were placed in groups with tolerant classmates. What does he need to change about his groups?

Answer 1

He has grouped them appropriately and needs to change nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooperative learning is practiced in most classrooms where students are divided into small groups and they learn new things and concepts in groups by means of experiences and activities.

It is most advantageous to children who require more attention by grouping them with tolerant classmates to promote positive interdependence and thereby achieving positive outcome.
