Abstract :
Teaching strategies play an essential role in teaching and learning. Through this, the student`s learning process, especially those who find mathematics a complex subject, becomes interesting, making them more enthusiastic in dealing with Mathematical concepts. This study aimed to determine the effective strategies mathematics teachers employ to improve the students` interests and study habits. In the light of the findings obtained, the identified teaching strategies that Mathematics teachers permanently employ are recalling past knowledge, showing Sequential Achievement, indicating the usefulness of the topic, using recreational mathematics, telling Pertinent stories, and involving students actively. While, they "often" employ strategies to discover patterns, presenting a challenge and attracting students` interest. Since Mathematics teachers and students generally have parallel perceptions of the teaching strategies used by the Mathematics teachers, there are proposed activities that will match the result of the study. These proposed activities might be helpful in Mathematics teachers who never cease to find ways to motivate their students to enjoy Mathematics.
