Using Classwide Peer Tutoring To Teach Beginning Algebra Problem-Solving Skills in Heterogeneous Classrooms.

Allsopp, David H.

Remedial and Special Education, v18 n6 p367-79 Nov-Dec 1997

This study compared the effectiveness of using classwide peer tutoring (CWPT) in 14 heterogeneous eighth-grade math classrooms with traditional independent student practice to teach problem-solving skills to students in beginning algebra. Both CWPT and independent practice were equally effective strategies with students identified as at risk or not at risk of math failure. (DB)
