Student’s beliefs about mathematics and mathematics learning can have a substantial impact on their interest in mathematics, their enjoyment of mathematics, and their motivation in mathematical class. The learning outcomes of students are strongly related to their beliefs about the nature of mathematics, beliefs about mathematics education and beliefs about the nature of knowledge and the process of knowing. The study intended to understand the influence of mathematical beliefs on achievement in mathematics of secondary school students. Sample for the study consisted of 600 secondary school students studying in Standard IX selected from Kozhikode and Malappuram districts of Kerala state. The study adopted survey method. Data were collected by using Mathematical Beliefs Inventory. The statistical technique used for analyzing the collected data is Test of significance of difference between means of large independent sample (t-test). The results indicated that the influence of Mathematical Beliefs on Achievement in Mathematics is significant and that there exists significant difference in the mean scores of Achievement in Mathematics for High Mathematical Beliefs group and Low Mathematical Beliefs group.
