To improve their performance, various learning strategies are employed by teachers abandoning the conventional method. This study focused on the cooperative learning as a method to enhance level of performance of grade 10 mathemat- ics students in the Philippines. It looked into the method and how it influ- enced students’ performance. By using a quasi-experimental research method, the following results are generated: 1) the method positively improved the per- formance in mathematics of the control and experimental groups; 2) while effec- tiveness assessment showed a highly effective result; and 3) the application of the method showed a positive impact on the participants as shown by their positive perception of the subject mathematics.
