Abstract

These researches aimed to identifywhy students achieve low results in mathematics subject as well as providing possible solutions to this problem. With reference to the researchers' experiences as teachers at schools and later at universities and after seeing the academic results of students on mathematics courses, they found that there are weaknesses in the students' academic achievement. In fact, academic achievement is considered very necessary for students to transfer from one studying level to another, so the researchers found that it is crucial to investigate improving student’s skill in mathematics. When learners’ are followed mathematics course group discussion/learning is essential. Group work is a method of social work which develops the ability of establishing constructive relationship in individuals through group activities. Group experiences are the essential needs of human being. Group work helps the individual in removing weakness and strengthening internal power to perform his/her job satisfactorily. The social group worker must have the theoretical knowledge of social group work, its principles, its skills, its models; its assumption so that he/she may be able to perform his/her jobs most satisfactorily. The mathematics skills hardship faced by students during mathematics solving equations and problem-solving. so as to understand the issues faced by them, The study was carried out using a qualitative method involving a group work of students developing their cognitive abilities in learning further intricate the trouble faced by the students in their mathematics solving equations and problem-solving.
