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

In this situation, the students are clearly helping one another learna situation that is probably in everyone's best interest.
