I really like this point that's raised in the article: "Avoid group grades. Many adults and kids can recall working on a class project where some people pulled more of the weight than others. Although project-based learning often involves teamwork, the SLA math teachers said they do not assign group grades." I've been on both sides of that equation - the kid who did all the work, and the kid who did none (though to be fair to myself, I refused to accept a full share of credit when I did none of the work, hence pushing up my partner's score).
