This research investigates the effect of group work on students’ learning in mathematics at the elementary level in District Larkana. Given the concern over declining performance in mathematics, the study aims to enhance academic outcomes through cooperative learning strategies. A pre-test and post-test experimental design was implemented with fifty randomly selected sixth-grade students at a government girls' high school. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, understanding, and application in alignment with Bloom's taxonomy. The findings revealed a significant positive effect of group work on student performance, evidenced by improved mean scores in understanding mathematical concepts and problem-solving abilities. For example, students’ post-test scores in the Application domain improved by 14.8%. These results support the hypothesis that collaborative learning methods can effectively enhance academic performance in mathematics. The study underscores the necessity of integrating group work into elementary education to foster student engagement and improve learning outcomes in mathematics. This study’s findings have practical implications for policymakers and curriculum designers aiming to enhance education quality through innovative teaching practices.
