"MATHEMATICAL ABILITY OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN RELATION TO THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT"

The study has been conducted to investigate the levels of Mathematical Ability and Home Environment of high school students. It also examines the relationship between the Home Environment and Mathematical Ability of the high school students. The study was made on a random sample of 900 high school students in Ariyalur District. The tools used in the study were the Mathematical Ability and Home Environment scale constructed and validated by the researcher. The study reveals the fact that the level of Mathematical Ability and Home Environment at moderate levels. Further, it is noted that there is negligible correlation between the Mathematical Ability and Home Environment among the high school students.
