The data gathered were interpreted and analyzed using three 3 statistical tools such Frequency and Percentage, Mean, and Pearson’s r. The result revealed that majority of the respondents were female and age ranged from 13 to 19 both grades 9 and 10. Moreover, the relationship between the respondents’ perceptions about the nature of Mathematics and attitudes towards Mathematics as evidenced by the computed statistics r = 0.014 with corresponding significance value of 0.866 which is greater than 0.05 level of significance, it implied that the respondents’ perceptions about the nature of Mathematics do not necessarily affect their attitudes towards Mathematics.
