Students hold various perceptions of mathematics, and many business and sports leaders emphasize that an individual's attitude significantly influences their performance in professional or athletic settings. Similarly, attitudes toward mathematics play a critical role in both teaching and learning, directly affecting students' achievement in the subject. Factors such as teaching methods, school structure, family support, and students' overall attitudes toward school contribute to their feelings about mathematics.
This study investigated how students' attitudes influence their math performance in the classroom, focusing on five selected schools in the Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State. The researcher conducted surveys to assess students' attitudes toward mathematics education. Findings indicated that both attitude and gender differences significantly affect math performance. Additionally, a positive attitude toward mathematics fosters success in the subject. Efforts to enhance attitudes toward mathematics at lower educational levels lay the groundwork for further studies in mathematics and positively influence achievement in secondary education.
