Most people are perplexed at the thought of multiple grades in one classroom. To be honest though, it is more perplexing to believe both girls and boys of all the same age are at the same stage developmentally in content areas such as math in reading. Does it not make more sense to group students according to their ability level and not their chronological age? Multi-age classrooms make this more feasible. For example, say there is a girl in 4th grade who is on a 5th grade reading level but on a 3rd grade math level. In a multi-age classroom, she is easily placed in the 5th grade reading group and the 3rd grade math group thereby challenging her at the appropriate ability level.
