Abstract: In schools throughout the world, Mathematics is regarded as the most significant subject. Unfortunately, because of the multiple barriers that keep them from fully participating, many students in the Philippines find it difficult. Students have a hard time when solving activities in General Mathematics. This study aimed to 1) determine the factors that affect learners’ performance, 2) determine levels of learner’s quarterly performance, and 3) determine the significant relationship between factors affecting learners’ performance and the learners’ performance in General Mathematics at PHINMA-Cagayan de Oro College, School Year 2022-2023. The data was gathered among nine hundred thirty-one (931) General Mathematics learners. In this study, descriptive research design, particularly the descriptive correlational method, was applied. This study made use of a descriptive research design. The questionnaire used was adopted from TIMSS (2007) and PANORAMAED (2015). The statistical tool used frequency, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Correlation to get the relationship between the two variables. The study showed that the majority of the respondents got satisfactory. Among three (3) factors that can affect learners’ performance, teacher-related factor got the highest followed by family-related factor and learner-related factor respectively. There is a significant relationship between learners’ and teacher-related factors and learners’ performance in General Mathematics. It is concluded that the learners appreciated the teacher’s efforts and positive traits. Additionally, students acknowledged their hard work in describing the subject in General Mathematics in the best methods possible. It is recommended that teachers keep their distinctive qualities while also finding new approaches to conduct discussions about Mathematics. To prevent students from forgetting the material quickly and to foster an interest in the subject and excellent study habits, teachers should also offer techniques for addressing these problems.
