The document contains summaries of four sources that examine factors influencing students' attitudes toward mathematics and performance in mathematics. The sources discuss studies conducted in Tanzania, Ghana, and the Philippines looking at how students' attitudes, teachers' attitudes, instructional strategies, resources, and study habits affect mathematics learning and exam scores. One study found that positive teacher attitudes can influence positive student attitudes toward mathematics.

Mazana et al. (2018) looked into Tanzanian students' attitudes
toward learning mathematics and further sought to identify the
reasons behind liking or disliking math as well as the correlation
between attitude and performance. According to the authors, a
number of factors, such as students attitudes toward mathematics,
intrinsic motivation, perceived usefulness, teachers' instructional
strategies, and the school environment, have an impact on students
learning and performance in mathematics. In their findings, they
also came to the conclusion that instructor didactic strategies,
institutional resources, subpar learning and examination strategies,
and failure to comprehend instructions all contribute to exam
failure.

Mensah et al. gives a succinct overview of the study of
mathematics and its importance in a world that is constantly
changing. The article emphasizes Ghanaian students' performance
in mathematics at the Senior High School, which has not been
encouraging recently, with a focus on students' attitudes toward
mathematics and performance and how teachers' attitudes influence
students' performance. According to the study, students' positive
attitudes toward learning mathematics were influenced by their
teachers' positive attitudes, which in turn made them do the same.
The article concludes with a number of recommendations for
teachers on how to stimulate students' interest, which may enhance
their Mathematics performance.

In recent years, student underachievement in mathematics on
standardized national examinations has spread to affect all
countries, not just a select few. The study examines 177 Grade 9
students enrolled in mathematics and their attitudes, study habits,
and academic performance within a national context (the
Philippines).
The study, which was published in 2019, found that the
respondents' attitudes and study habits are important variables that
affect their mathematics performance. Additionally, such attitudes
and study practices need to be improved in order to raise students'
mathematics performance.

overview of the various determinants of students' mathematics
performance.
