    This study examined how assigning seats impacts student grades in a 6th grade math class. Two classes were selected - a control group that sat wherever they wanted and an experimental group with assigned seats. Both groups had a similar distribution of academic levels. The study collected assessment scores from both groups over five tests and compared the average scores to see if assigned seating increased or decreased grades. Previous research found that assigned seating can improve learning by increasing teacher-student interactions, but the optimal arrangement depends on the task. The study aimed to help teachers decide whether to implement assigned seating.
