It is essential in almost every field: measurement in fashion, angles in sports, technology and economics. This perspective on Mathematics has gained more attention with the rapid advances of information and communication. Mathematics is not just computation but a tool for understanding structures, relationships and patterns to produce solutions for complex real life problems. Mathematics is a necessity for people of all ages to be successful in life. In many researches, mathematics performance involves a complex interaction of factors on school outcome. According to Schereiber (2000) those who have positive attitudes toward mathematics have a better performance in this subject. Boys are more likely to be better in Mathematics than girls. According to Wendy Hensan (2008), boys are a little bit better in Mathematics than their girls counterpart in any grade level.
