This study explored the trend of eight mostly affective variables related to mathematics learning across the 6th grade to the 11th grade. 1038 subjects sampled by stratified sampling were surveyed with 76 items. As a result, consistent decline(negative formation) of six affective variables` (interest, attitude, values and beliefs, self-concept, anxiety, motivation) measures were found. Big difference between 6th grade and 7th grade was noted. The higher the school level was, the smaller the variance between high and low achievers in affective measures was. Implications of the results were discussed.
