CHAPTER I
Introduction
Mathematics plays an important role in our everyday life and it has become an
indispensable factor for the progress of our present day world. It helps the man to give
Mathematics occupies a crucial and unique role in the human societies and
represents a strategic key in the development of the whole mankind. The ability to
compete, related to the power of technology and to the ability of social organization, and
the geometrical understanding of spacetime, that is the physical world and its natural
patterns, show the role of Mathematics in the development of a society (Parnell, 1995).
Everyone agrees that learning math can be difficult, but some people believe
math is important and some people believe math is not important. We may say, math is
Teachers always look for strategies and techniques to help children in improving
essence of math concepts, and theories into the learners’ lives. Hence, intervention has
become an important way for teachers to ensure that all students succeed in today’s high
stakes testing environment. Helping students who are struggling with mathematics

requires the teacher to choose an appropriate time and strategy for the learners. Without a
systematic approach, this can be a challenge for teachers who have many students in need
mathematics intensive. More students must pursue on educational path that will prepare
them for life long work as mathematicians, statisticians, engineers and scientists. Hence,
in this changing world, those who understand and can do mathematics will have
significantly enhanced opportunities and options for shaping their futures. Mathematical
doors closed. Generally, it is an assumption that mathematics is only for the select few.
On the contrary, everyone needs to understand mathematics. All students should have the
opportunity and the support necessary to learn significant mathematics with depth and
This approach, however, does not imply that all students are alike. Students exhibits
scientific careers must have their talents and interests engaged. Likewise, students with
special educational needs must have the opportunities and support they require to attain a

Other Researchers. Researchers endowed with benchmark information that laid the
foundation to further researches on the factors that could lead to better instructions
The study focused and limited only on the impressions of students to mathematics
