The following study aims to investigate how pupils benefit from the work with problem solving in cooperative learning and what mathematical abilities the pupils develop in this type of work. The target of this study is elementary school. The result of this study is based on a selection of scientific articles. The problem statement has been a decisive factor in the choice of articles. The conclusion of this study is that the pupils benefit from problem solving within cooperative learning because it supports pupils' ability to solve mathematical problems. Also the students benefit from discussions with their peers when they are reasoning together and use mathematical terms. The abilities that develop using problem solving in mathematics education are abilities that are stated in Lgr11 (Skolverket, 2019) and creative abilities. Other abilities that develop using problemsolving within cooperative learning are logical thinking and reasonableness assessment.
