Self-concept is not an innate feature, it is shaped with the social and physical environment in time. School environment, social groups, and parents contribute a lot to the development of self-concept and self-esteem of the children during their primary and secondary schools (Frisby & Tucker, 1993). Past experiences, being active in social groups and feeling valuable positively support the self-concept development (Shunk, 2009). In this context, it is suggested to benefit from cooperative learning groups in mathematics education to contribute to the development
of elementary school students’ mathematics self-concept.
