The attempt to obtain information or feedback about pupils’ perception in learning Mathematics has become very necessary since teachers have to take great effort to understand the pupils’ needs and try to fulfil them. Teachers will get ideas what to improve in order to make sure learning mathematics in 21st century can achieve the best level. 88 samples were involved in this study consist of 30 of 8 years old pupils and 58 of 9 years old pupils and they were selected by applying purposive sampling. A quantitative research design was applied. A questionnaire consist of 20 items was conducted.
