For the emotional and academic performance there was a significant evidence to acceptthe null hypothesis and conclude that was no relationship between academic performance and emotional engagement,while there was a moderate, positive relationship between cognitive engagement and academic performance. Theresearchers recommended to initiate activities that can help boost the students' engagement in Mathematics for it wasshown some significant relationship to their mathematics performance
