Desmond Livingston · Answer 1

He has grouped them appropriately and needs to change nothing

Explanation:

Cooperative learning is practiced in most classrooms where students are divided into small groups and they learn new things and concepts in groups by means of experiences and activities.

It is most advantageous to children who require more attention by grouping them with tolerant classmates to promote positive interdependence and thereby achieving positive outcome.
