Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cooperative learning on mathematics achievement and attitude towards mathematics. Approach: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on two form one classes in Miri, Sarawak. One class (n = 44) was assigned as an experimental group and the other (n = 38) was assigned as a control group. The two groups were pre-tested prior the implementation. At the end of the study, post test was given, while daily quiz was used as a tool for formative testing. Teaching and learning process was carried out for two weeks. Data were analyzed using the t-test to determine performance by comparing the mean of the post test for treatment and control group. Results: The results of this study showed that cooperative learning methods improve students’ achievement in mathematics and attitude towards mathematics. Conclusion: The researchers concluded that cooperative learning is an effective approach, which mathematics teachers need to incorporate in their teaching.
