Abstract

In this paper, using ordinary differential equations, mathematical performance model was formulated to study the dynamics of pupil/students’ performance in mathematics as a function of parental background, incorporating a number of environmental factors. The model considered 8 subgroups, which led to derivation of 8-Dimensional dynamic mathematical model for the study of students’ performance in mathematics. Model analysis explored numerical methods and the computational simulations of the model indicated that the proportion of pupil/students’ from parents with probability of transmission of hereditary and acquired intelligence exhibited high performance in the subject. However, under a cozy environmental factors, male pupil/students’ possess more of acquired intelligence in mathematical, whereas, the females exhibited dominance and are sharper via hereditary intelligence. The model therefore, recommended devotion of attention and resources by parents on acquired intelligence of their pupil/students’; as well as both governmental and non-governmental agencies willingness to compliment efforts of parents in the provision of appropriate environment for the enhancement of pupil/students’ performance in mathematics. Furthermore, the optimal control and broader predominant studying parameters for similar model is highly encouraged.
