Mathematics is an important subject in general education. Mathematics develops students’
analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Children are sent to school in order to become
useful members of a society and contribute to the welfare of society. Mathematics learning leads
to the attainment of this objective. Mathematics attitude is essential for its learning. The main
objective of this study was to identify students’ attitude towards mathematics at the elementary
level. The population of the present study consisted of all the public and private elementary
schools of city Lahore. A sample of 300 students was selected through convenient sampling
technique. A Questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. Descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to analyse the data. Results of descriptive statistics showed that most of the
students did not feel easy while they are in the mathematics classroom. They did not think that
mathematics is beneficial for their practical life. They think that they were good in other things as
compare to mathematics, but they felt good if mathematics problems led them to think out of the
box. Results of independent sample t-test indicated that male and female students have the same
attitude towards Mathematics. It is suggested that for mathematics learning, teachers should
develop students’ attitude toward mathematics by controlling the factors that lead students’
negative view and emotions for the subject.
