摘要：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.
