Significant differences in students’ mathematics achievement and attitudes towards mathematics were found
between experimental and control groups. After the treatment, experimental group students showed significant
improvement in mathematics achievement and attitudes towards mathematics in comparison to control group
students. It was found that students’ performance in mathematics and attitudes towards mathematics were affected
by exposure to the cooperative learning. Students seem to prefer learning mathematics by sharing knowledge. They
feel contented when they can function effectively in the group work. It is hoped that the findings of this study may
assist policymakers and teachers to identify appropriate measures that could promote cooperative learning in
mathematics classrooms. The results of the study might also advance our understanding on practical contribution of
cooperative learning.
