Abstract Against the problems such as that teamwork of mathematical modeling is not strong enough, based on the characteristics and inherent laws of mathematical modeling, combined with the characteristics of the students, this paper presents several strategies. To the basic theory of cooperative learning as a guide, starting from the connotation of cooperative learning of mathematical modeling, analyzing the main factors that impacting the cooperative learning of mathematical modeling, this paper makes several teaching strategies of the cooperative learning of mathematical modeling for the research about the teaching strategies that the cooperative learning improves the modeling interest in learning, academic performance and learning ability. Empirical students have shown that the implementation of cooperative learning has a positive impact on improving student’s modeling interest in learning, academic performance and learning ability and so on. In this way, we not only expand the theory of cooperative learning from high school to college, but also achieve the combine of theory and practice. It provides approach to improve student’s comprehensive ability. Keywords Mathematical modeling · Membership · Fuzzy clustering · Cooperative learning · Teaching mode.
1 Introduction Under the guidance of teachers, Cooperative learning is group activities as the main body, peer cooperation and mutual assistance, team competition as the main forms. It has played an active role in the teaching of various disciplines to make the learning Y. Zhong (B) · Y. Lei · X. Wang · L. Yang · G.

process a “re-creation”process under the guidance of the teacher [1, 2]. There are many relevant studies. As education critic Ellis and Fouts have asserted in the book, “co-teaching, if not the largest education reform, then, it is at least one of the largest” [3, 4]. There are few studies of Cooperative learning in the practice and teaching of mathematical modeling. To address this issue, starting from the concept, pattern and the theoretical basis of cooperative learning, this paper points out the purpose and significance of cooperative learning, explores the characteristics of cooperative learning, reveals the content of cooperative learning in the Mathematical Modeling course, explores influencing factors of cooperation learning way. From five aspects, the group choreography, timing, the choice and build of the problem, the promotion and protection of the cooperation and exchange, the role of teachers, this paper explores cooperative learning of undergraduate mathematical courses, respectively, to propose three pronged strategy of cooperative learni
