      abstract = {Mathematics is closely related to everyone's daily life and lifelong planning. Exclude mathematics from everyday life and civilization grinds to a halt. Against this background, research seeks to build and evoke in students and teachers the appropriate appreciation and interest in the value of mathematics for individuals and society. This is done with a particular focus on the junior secondary schools in the Darazo Local government area in the state of Bauchi, Nigeria. The relevant data and information were collected through a teacher questionnaire. It is based on the responses on the 4-point Likert scale. A simple mean was used to analyze the data. The options were assigned the numeric values 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. The mean for acceptance is X > 2.5, otherwise rejection. For each cluster, the acceptance point is 12.5. The result of this survey confirmed the fact that; The teacher factor, student attitude and commitment, methods of teaching mathematics, use of teaching materials, and school environment are highly valid factors influencing students' poor performance in mathematics on the high school mathematics examination.},
