Questionnaire checklist was the main tool used in generating the necessary data of the study. Correlational design was used in the study. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Coefficient of Correlation were the statistical treatment employed in interpreting the data. The parents were highly engaged at home and at school on the academic undertakings of their child. The pupils had a very high positive attitude towards mathematics and their overall performance was satisfactory.
