Answer to Question 1

Following are examples of possible strategies:
 Put Seth in a group with which he has worked productively in the past.
 Continually monitor group interactions to ensure that everyone is on task.
 Assign a different task to each group member, assuring individual accountability.
 If Seth has poor math skills, give him a task within the group that he can successfully accomplish

Answer to Question 2

Mr. Beezley obviously thinks that his students' cooperative behavior is a form of cheating. However, cooperative behavior is typical of Navajo children, who are brought up to value the achievement of the entire community over the achievement of specific individuals. In this situation, the students are clearly helping one another learna situation that is probably in everyone's best interest.
