dc.description Present project assess the effectiveness of cooperative learning over the mathematic anxiety and review the behavior of help seeking in first grade high school girl students. The experimental research procedure was in the form of pre-post tests after a period of 8 sessions of teaching. To measure the variables, the questionnaire of mathematic anxiety (Shokrani, 2002) and the questionnaire of help seeking technique (Ghadampour, 1998) were practiced (accepting or avoiding help seeking).To perform the assignment, 40 girl students from two schools were selected randomly and based on the highest mark of mathematic anxiety in pretest level and also after completing the two questionnaires; centered on matching process; they were placed in two groups of control and experimental. Teaching methodology of mathematic courses was offered in traditional method in control group but in experimental group, teaching methodology was cooperative learning method. After concluding the teaching sessions, once more, two questionnaires of mathematic anxiety and help seeking behavior were accomplished for the students. To analyze the data, the statistics method of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was implemented. The accomplished results indicated that cooperative learning method, in comparison with traditional technique, significantly decreases mathematic anxiety in students and increases help seeking behavior and decline the avoidance factors (p<0.05). These changes are, therefore, marked and meaningful in control group. Consequently, it is determined that the cooperative learning method can decrease the mathematic anxiety and increase help seeking behavior in students
