N2 - Evidence that grouping students based on their mathematical achievements is detrimental for low achieving students has been accumulating. However, little is known about the opportunities given to students to same different realizations of mathematical objects and to author narratives in different achievement level groups. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences between the opportunities given to students to talk about mathematical objects in different tracks. 34 videotaped mathematics lessons, implementing one identical task (the hexagons task), were analyzed using the Realization Tree Assessment tool (RTA). Results show that the opportunities for explorative participation in low-achievement groups were significantly lower than the opportunities in high-achievement groups.
