Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur ett urval lärare i årskurs tre arbetar med övergångar mellan olika aktiviteter under en lektion i ämnena matematik och svenska. För att undersöka detta har vi genomfört en empirisk studie med hjälp av två kvalitativa metoder, observation och intervju. I varje ämne har fem lärare ingått i studien. Det insamlade materialet har sammanställts och analyserats utifrån våra teoretiska begrepp som flertalet kommer av Jacob S. Kounin (1977).Vårt resultat visade att det inte fanns så tydliga skillnader i arbetet kring övergångar mellan de två ämnena matematik och svenska vilket gjorde att vi istället la vikt på att se hur alla lärare i vår studie arbetar med övergångar i stort.
