Data were collected and analyzed by using descriptive statistics frequency percentages, mean and standard deviation. In addition, Independent-Sample T test also used to see whether there is a significant difference between the students' achievement and attitude with the cooperative learning method. The findings showed that cooperative learning method could enhance the low achiever achievement and attitude in learning Mathematics. In addition, cooperative learning method had shown the positive effects toward the performance of cognitive, social and affective for low achiever students in primary school
