The goal of primary education is to identify students who are at risk academically and behaviorally and address their problems before they progress into the upper grades. Primary schools tend to have smaller classes and have more staff that are trained to note learning problems and help students overcome. Objectives: 1. To assess the mathematics skills of 6th standard children. 2. To compare the mathematics skills of 6th standard children with gender and location of school. Methods: A descriptive design was adopted to accomplish the objectives of the study. A sample of 1006th standard children was selected by using simple random sampling technique. The mathematics skills of 6th standard school children were determined by using structured questionnaires. Results: Findings of the study revealed that majority69% of the subjects had grade C, 10% of them had Grade B and 11% of them had Grade B+ in regard to Mathematics skills. The mean mathematics skills scores of the primary school children is 16.78 with standard deviation of 1.905. Conclusion From the study findings, it is revealed that there was significant difference in the mathematics skills of boys and girls of 6thstandard children. Also there was a significant difference in the mathematics skills of rural and urban school children. http://www.ijrar.org/Authorhome/alogout.php
