INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is significant in our daily lives because we use a lot of what we were taught
in our daily activities. For instance tiling floors may be done by figuring the size of the
area. Being able to figure out percentages can come in handy when faced with nutrition
labels. Road signs and recipe books feature fractions that tell us the distance to our
requires math. Placing pictures on a wall and making certain they are hanging straight
Mathematics is the oldest of all sciences that have developed through the ages having a
direct impact on the quality of human life in our planet. It is known to all of us that
arithmetic is the basic branch of mathematics and numerical concept is at the root of each
and every mathematical concept. However, arithmetical ability and numerical ability may
influence pupils’ achievement in mathematics. Several studies are done to find out how
achievements of the pupils are influenced by their mathematical ability and numerical
ability. The national policy of education (1986) has also considered the importance of
the vehicle to train a child to think, reason, analyze and to articulate logically.
The ability of do something is the quality acquired skill or talent. Study habit always
creates talent and skill of problem solving techniques. Study habit is a well planned and
deliberate pattern of study which has attained form of consistency on the part of the

command over basic arithmetical skill on mathematics achievement. He observed that
backwardness in mathematics.
The investigator observed that the relation between Achievement in mathematics and
in mathematics and isolated the figural angular factor and numerical facility factor as
high school student. Sumangala(1995) has studied 750 students of class IX in Kerala and
found that the numerical ability, numerical reasoning , ability to choose symbols, spatial
secure certificates either for admission into higher institution or secure good jobs is the
main goal of education to many people and not the acquisition of knowledge and skills
through studying.
On the basis of the review of related literature, studies on effect of Arithmetical Ability
