The Effects of Group Size and Instructional Method on the Acquisition of Mathematical Concepts of Fourth Grade Students.
Sindelar, Paul T.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v77 n3 p178-83 Jan-Feb 1984

Students were randomly assigned to teacher-led or seatwork assignments in groups of either one, three, five, or six, and results showed seatwork impervious to group size effects, while achievement varied.
