description Examining both the international literature and Serbian studies, it can be stated that mathematics is one of the most unpopular subjects among pupils. Instead, maths education should focus on developing mathematical thinking, modeling and problem solving, as these are indispensable. Innovation of the educational process is a continuous challenge for educators, as is the integration of various teaching strategies, groupwork forms and learning methods into their daily classes. Numerous international studies have confirmed the effectiveness of cooperative learning in education. The aim of this research is to examine whether pupils' attitudes towards mathematics change as a result of cooperative learning, and whether students' attitudes regarding cooperation improve. The results reveal that cooperative learning has a positive influence on pupils' cooperation skills and attitude towards mathematics.
