This study sought to use cooperative learning to enhance the understanding of JHS 2 pupils in a Basic School of Assin North Municipality on the concept of collecting and handling data in mathematics. The study used action research as the research design. 20 JHS 2 pupils in a Basic School of Assin North Municipality were purposively selected as the sample size. Purposive sampling procedure was used to select the sample for this study. Test and observation were the research instruments used to collect data for this study. The data gathered from test and observation were analyzed quantitatively using of descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution table, mean, percentages and pie charts. It was concluded that cooperative learning activities helped pupils to understand the concept of collecting and handling data in mathematics. Cooperative learning leads to better group activity, improved attitudes and increased in school achievements. It was also concluded that groups which were given the same task as their group assignment performed better than those groups which were not given the same task as their group assignment. It was therefore recommended that, teachers and other educators should use cooperative learning to enhance pupils understanding of the concept collecting and handling data in mathematics. Also, teachers should employ the use of cooperative learning activities in large class sizes to maximize school performance.
