A number of previous researchers indicated that students‘ mathematics interest is still low because most of them have perceived

that mathematics is very difficult, boring, not very practical, and have many abstract theorems that were very hard to understand.

This research is aimed to examine the variation of mathematical interest among Hr. Sec. School students. The investigator used

normative survey method to collect data. 250 higher secondary students were randomly selected for this study. The result

revealed that there is significance difference between male and female of higher secondary students in their mathematical

interest and there is significance different between rural and urban higher secondary students in their mathematical interest.
