    Students' perceptions towards mathematics seem to be shaped by how they define mathematics and the role of mathematics in their life. Most students in Malaysia lack experience in dealing with mathematics, thus their achievement in mathematics are not as good as non-Malaysian students (Liew & Pong, 2004). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate students' perceptions in learning mathematics and how these perceptions may lead to problems in understanding the mathematics itself among students in selected Malaysian secondary schools. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 200 students in Kuantan, Pahang in order to gauge their perceptions in learning mathematics. The researcher also assesses the relationship that exists between students' perceptions towards mathematics and their academic achievement by using APOS Theory. The respondents generally reported a positive perception towards mathematics. With regard to the correlation analysis, there was a significant statistical relationship between students' perceptions towards mathematics and their UPSR mathematics grade. However, there was no significant difference between students' perception towards mathematics and recent mathematics grade. These results warrant further researches using more advanced statistical tools in order to obtain more accurate and relevant findings. Finally it is hoped that the study will open new paths that can benefit mathematics in education system and how mathematics are perceived by students in the classroom.

    This study attempts to integrate students' perceptions in mathematics knowledge in answering and explaining problems of mathematics learning that is presence in the classroom. The survey instrument used in this study called "Students' Perception on Mathematics Survey"(SPMS). All the marks and data gathered were tabulated, summarized, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18. ANOVA analysis was used to analyze the data gathered. The data analysis reveals that there is no relationship between perception in mathematics across gender and ethnicity. It is recommended that future research employs bigger sampling for generalization purposes. In this way, results from this study may help to improve teachers' teaching methods in mathematics as well as to enhance students' academic performance in mathematics.

    Previous studies have shown that students have difficulties when dealing with abstract and lengthy questions. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the significant difference in students’ performance when using visual approach in teaching and learning mathematics. The population used for this study was students in secondary form two from one of the selected schools in Gombak district. Eighty-five students were selected as respondents for this study. The pre-post design and questionnaire techniques were adapted from previous literature in this study. Firstly, a pre-test was given to all the respondents. Then, the respondents were facilitated with the treatment by using the visual approach. Subsequently, a post-test was administrated. Lastly, a set of questionnaires was distributed to the students in order to get the students’ feedback. The raw scores from the pre-test and post-test were analysed by using Sample-Paired T-test. Meanwhile, the descriptive statistic was used to analyse the data from the questionnaires. The results reveal that the visual approach can increase the students’ performance in mathematics. Thus, the study strongly recommends further study to be conducted by increasing the number of samples so that the generalization can be made to another school as well. It is also recommended that the study should take the students’ backgrounds into consideration such as gender, ethnicity and cultures.

    This study highlights the importance of helping students discover and better comprehend their level of mathematics problems solving skill and its relationship to their mathematics career choice. Purposive sampling was used as a method for data collection. A questionnaire consisting of two different sections seeking students’ background, their mathematical problem-solving skills, and career choice were given to the students. All the marks and data gathered were tabulated, summarized, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18. ANOVA analysis was used to analyze the data gathered. The data analysis reveals that there is a relationship between mathematical problem-solving skills and career choices in mathematics among upper secondary school students. Secondly, there is no relationship between mathematics problem-solving skills and the student’s career choice in mathematics across gender. It is recommended that future research employs bigger sampling for generalization purposes.
