Abstract: Mathematics is king and an important subject taught in school. However, student achievement in this subject is declining. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that affecting student’s achievement in mathematics using confirmatory factor analysis and to investigate the relationship between factors of the student’s achievement in mathematics. In this study, we de developed a model and test whether the data fit with hypothesized model. The data were obtained from Trend in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The study of confirmatory factor analysis on student achievement in mathematics via 4 indicators which are: 1) motivation 2) teacher’s role 3) attitude 4) self-confidence. The model developed of confirmatory factor analysis on the student’s achievement in mathematics fit well with the empirical data set.
