This paper discusses mathematics, and aims to examine the attitudes of learners towards the subject. The factors that affect adult’s attitudes to learning mathematics are discussed, along with the making of appropriate provisions for children in schools. The review of literature examines the influences of socio-economic status, race, gender and retention and looks at the development of mathematical attitudes from a Vygotskian perspective.
