Abstract Students’ mathematics achievement can be influenced by various factors. This study examined the factors–profile and skills, that could affect students’ mathematics achievement. Using a descriptive-correlational design, the study involved a sample of 285 students enrolled in the Mathematics in the Modern World course during the first semester of AY 2023-2024 at Tangub City Global College, selected though cluster sampling. Attitude and self-efficacy scales to measure profile, skills tests–computation, comprehension, and logic– and validated midterm examination to measure achievement level were used as instruments to collect data. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Test, and Multiple Regression Analysis served as the main statistical tools. Findings revealed that students generally hold negative attitudes, low self-efficacy and computation skills, with average comprehension, logical skills, and mathematics achievement. Attitude, computation, comprehension, and logical skills significantly predicted achievement, while self-efficacy, though correlated, was not a predictor. It was concluded that students' mathematics achievement is significantly influenced by attitude, comprehension, computation, and logical skills, leading to the development of Learning Activity Sheets to enhance performance. It was recommended that this inquiry be extended by examining identity, knowledge, fixed, and context factors affecting mathematics achievement as this study is focused solely on profile and skill factors.
