Abstract: 

Mathematics is a subject with its own dignity and pride. Mathematics has a strong position in field of science and technology as well as it is the significant subject in human life. With its greater importance, students are required to learn mathematics from their childhood. Lack of mathematical knowledge could not make a student to progress in life, since it is required in everyday life. Although every student does not perform equally well in mathematics, because of its conceptualization. Students face various types of problems while learning mathematics. The present paper focuses on the various types of problems faced by students. These problems are broadly classified in student related; school related and family related factors. These problems became barriers in learning of mathematics. Therefore, these barriers should be reduced so that roots of teaching and learning of mathematics should be firmly kept since lower age.
