Several studies reported different factors which lead to students' poor performance in this subject. This study aimed to determine the influence of attitude and self-efficacy towards academic performance in Mathematics for Grade 8 students. It employed causalcorrelational research design. The findings revealed that the level of academic performance of the students was satisfactory. In terms of the level of attitude towards Mathematics subject, it is either positive or negative. As to the students' self-efficacy, it is neither high nor low. No significant difference was found on the level of attitude and self-efficacy when grouped according to gender. It was also discovered that only attitude towards Mathematics manifested significant influence to academic performance. Students who have shown positive attitude towards the subject tend to perform well. Hence, performance in Mathematics can be improved by developing a positive attitude towards the subject. Parents, teachers and other stakeholders have the responsibility of helping the students in this aspect.

Participants were grouped into a control group that was exposed to the conventional approach and experimental group that was exposed to the CRA approach. Pre-test and post-test of the two groups were gathered and analyzed using mean, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results revealed that there was no significant difference found between the pre-test mean scores of the experimental group and the control group. A significant difference was established between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the students in both the control and experimental group. Lastly, there was a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the control group and the experimental group while controlling the pre-test scores. It was also found out that the CRA approach had a higher mean score than the conventional teaching approach. Thus, the CRA approach found to be better than the conventional in enhancing students’ mathematics performance.
