Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to explore student’s attitude towards mathematics and their achievement in mathematics during Covid 19 Pandemic. Attitude scale was used to find out the attitude towards mathematics and achievement test was used to measure the achievement of students in mathematics. A sample of 185 secondary school students was selected from various schools of Kottayam district. The sample consisted of 90 boys and 95 girls. The result indicated a significant positive correlation between attitude towards mathematics and achievement in mathematics among secondary school students during Covid 19 Pandemic. The study revealed that attitude towards mathematics of girls are higher and girls are having greater achievement than boys.
