Author's abstract: "This study determined the effects of student-led cooperative learning teams and the use of reading techniques on third grade math achievement compared to traditional teacher-directed math instruction. Units of study included the teaching of fractions with decimals and multiplication with division. Students were post-tested at the end of each three-week unit of study using a multiple-choice format assessment. Analysis of the data, using two-sample, one tail t tests, showed a statistically significant difference in favor of post-treatment scores. This analysis supports the use of cooperative learning teams combined with reading techniques to increase mathematics achievement."
