Anecdotal Records: These records were made during my math lesson and focus mainly on cooperative learning in pairs and groups. Grade Level: fourth grade Content of lesson: see math lesson plan Objectives:(see math lesson plan) and To assess how well students work together in pairs.

four focus groups:

Group 1: Students AM, MN, and MR Only group of three Seem to want to keep apart need to be promoted to push desk together Work independently unless promoted Am and MN work together but exclude MR little effort to work together to help each other solve the problem.

Group 2: Students DZ and MS Time each other quickly work independently to solve the first half of the problem DZ shared the guidance he got from me with MS

Both became frustrated and gave up after answering only the first half of the problem DZ refused help from another student who was finished Ms asked for more help but was unable to finish before it was time to leave for art.

Group 3 students DG and BL

BL distracted talking to another group Bl needs to be prompted to stay and work with her partner DG completes the work for both herself and her partner DG tries to explain to BL why she has calculate the number of breaths per hour before she can calculate the number of breaths per day Bl tries to finish the problem but becomes distracted by a group that is already finished.
