Mason, Dewayne A.; Good, Thomas L.
Teachers College Record, v98 n2 p236-65 Win 1996
This study compared the curriculum, instructional strategies, and organizational formats used by 6 elementary mathematics teachers with multigrade classes and those used by 18 who used either whole-class teaching or ability grouping. Analysis of videotaped lessons found significant differences between groups, suggesting that multigrade classes were more complex and challenging for teachers. (SM)
