Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to recognize how certain distinct but interrelated factors could lead to an interpretation of students’ performance in mathematics. Since, students may like, appreciate, or may dislike mathematics on the contrary. A long-term favorable or unfavourable willingness to mathematics may be defined. It is necessary to create and maintain a positive approach towards studying math. There is a connection between a student’s attitude to mathematics and their mathematics faculty. There are several other variables that may impact this attitude towards learning mathematics. A questionnaire has been designed for this research which includes numerous questions, to recognize variables impacting rural areas in Assam. 13 colleges in the rural region of Assam are surveyed in the questionnaire. The survey includes approximately 3,000 students. The results revealed that the most important aspect is the teacher: the behavior of the teacher and the way of his/her mathematics teaching and the extent of faith he/she provides to the student with impact definitely influence their perception towards mathematical problems.
