Pearson correlation analysis revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the learning strategies subscales and mathematics learning. A regression analysis revealed that share of organization, self- regulation, critical thinking, elaboration and rehearsal in predicting mathematics learning students meaningful, but share of exam anxiety was not significant in predicting mathematics Learning.
