  This is an action research project report from and educator who was concerned about group domination by the more skilled student. It speaks to the ways we arrange groups, manage them, and perhaps fail to set clear roles for group members. This researchers response was to create more homogeneous with regard to level of math success or comfort. The results showed some improvement in some areas, but may have failed to consider a more global issue of group dynamics. It raises concern for me that heterogeneous grouping might be seen as a less efficient way to mastery of content.
