Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In informal cooperative learning, small, temporary, ad-hoc groups of two to four students work together for brief periods in a class, typically up to one class period, to answer questions or respond to prompts posed by the instructor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Teachers who plan cooperative lessons often use small groups or quads (groups of 4). Students are assigned roles within the group so that they can divide and conquer the learning task at hand. For example, the reporter is responsible for sharing out the new learnings of the task.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ideal cooperative learning classroom has about 15 to 20 students. Students are usually grouped in clusters of 3 to 5. The larger the group size the more difficult it is to organize tasks, manage different skills, and reach a consensus.
