Abstract: The study looked into the effect of students’ prosocial behavior and self-efficacy on their mathematics achievement in two selected senior high schools in Ghana’s Ashanti region, Descriptive survey design was used to conduct the study. Students in SHS one, two, and three were the target group. A total of 260 students were given questionnaires through a stratified random sampling methods. Bootstrap samples were used in the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis of the gathered data. It was discovered that students’ prosocial behaviors and students’ self-efficacy were significantly positively predictor of students’ success in mathematics. Based on the results, it was recommended that mathematics teachers should consider their interactions with students, use a range of instructional strategies and motivate students to build confidence in their abilities and to help them develop prosocial behaviors and also engage students in math classes in order to raise math achievement.
