Abstract: This study examined the influence of teachers’ use of resources on students’ attitudes towards mathematics in Laikipia Country, Kenya. Descriptive research design was utilized in the study. The target population consisted of 8357 Form Four students from 113 secondary schools in the County. Simple randon sampling was employed to select the sample schools, sample classes, and respondents. A sample of 412 respondents consisting of 392 students and 20 mathematics teachers was selected from the sample classes using Krejcie and Morgan’s table of sample sizes. A self –administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the reliability of research instruments. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and simple regression analysis at .05 level of significance.
