The student-respondents disagree on distraction, home enjoyment and parent positive and negative attitude towards mathematical dispositions of students in doing home-tasks, while agree on self-efficacy and perseverance. There is significant difference on the mathematical disposition of the students in doing home-tasks with regard to the five factor variables. And there is significant difference on the mathematical disposition of the students in doing home-tasks with regard to age profile, and no significant difference on the mathematical disposition of the students in doing home-tasks with regard to grade level and sex profile variable.
