Abstract
The purpose of this action research project was to determine whether cooperative learning benefits students in the content area of math. Data was collected for this project over a two-week period of time. Qualitative data in the form of observation was taken while students worked in their cooperative learning groups. Quantitative data was incorporated by looking at the progress of students towards their math-learning goal. The math-learning goal being assessed throughout the following research is on subitizing. More specifically, students will be able to subitize the number of dots seen on a ten frame after having looked at the ten frame for two, three second, periods of time.
