The sample consists of 250 students of Class IX from 6 different secondary schools of Lucknow. Null hypotheses were formulated to examine the relationship between problem solving ability and attitude towards Mathematics and to compare the problem solving ability of secondary school students having high and low attitude towards Mathematics. A marginal relationship was found between problem solving ability of secondary school students and their attitude towards Mathematics.
