Collaborative Groups in Math: How Student Grouping Strategies Can Impact Math Achievement
Get PDFThis study looked into the academic effect of student grouping strategies in math class. Twentyseven third graders, attending a public charter elementary school in the South and nine sixth graders, attending a public elementary school in the Midwest, are the participants in this study. Most of the third grade students scored below grade-level, and most of the sixth grade students scored above grade-level on their recent respective state tests in math. This study focuses on the academic effect of the style of collaborative grouping based on exit tickets and a survey on student thinking about math. When collaboration was used, students were either grouped heterogeneously with a relatively high-, middle-, and low-achieving student in each group or randomly with playing cards shuffled and randomly drawn to place students into groups of three. The results indicate that grouping students heterogeneously, not randomly, in new daily groups of three each time collaboration is used, was more effective at helping students feel positively about math and score the highest on their exit tickets than using random grouping. The student attitudes towards math all increased over the entire course of the study with self-confidence growing the most in both classrooms

Species Description: M. virens is a cryptic species closely related to M. rapax. There is no taxonomic character to distinguish M. virens from M. rapax. Some variation exists in morphological and behavioral characters, but they are not discrete nor consistent enough to be dependable diagnostics. However, differential growth of anatomical structures appears to vary between Gulf and other population of M. rapax. However, the morphologically cryptic M. virens can be identified as a molecular operational taxonomic unit (Morard et al. 2016) due to its unique DNA sequences. Clearly, M. virens is an evolutionarily significant unit (Chu et al. 2015) geographically separated from the more widely distributed M. rapax complex. Since M. virens offspring are not apparently dispersed widely by tidal and ocean currents, successive generations appear to have inbred while surviving stressful environmental pressures. Thus, they have become genetically distinct from ancestral M. rapax populations. It is notable that the split between the current M. rapax and M. virens was around 2mya (Thurman et al. 2018). Fig. 24G illustrates the distribution of M. virens is in the north and western Gulf of Mexico. Fig. 24 F is the typical color of live M. virens.https://scholarworks.uni.edu/fiddlercrabs/1021/thumbnail.jp
