In this research, the effect of permutation and probability subject with cooperative learning method and traditional teaching method on the success and recall levels of 8th grade students was analysed. The model of experimental technique with pretest and posttest control group was used. Research was conducted on 64 students from two Primary School in Sulakyurt District of K r kkale Province in the second semester of 2006–2007 education year.
