Only place the number of kids in a group necessary to complete the task, too many or too few collaborators leaves kids feelings distracted and underutilized.
- If a project needs 2 students, the 3rd kid will be marginalized, distracted, etc.
- If the 3rd kid isn’t needed, there is nothing for this student to do.
- It’s not fair to students to have more students than necessary to complete an assignment.
