摘要:This study examined affective factors associated with the seventh grade students' computational estimation ability. Data wascollected from five high achievers via two interview sessions. During the interviews, students were required to solve numerical computational estimation questions and share their perspectives about computational estimation. Additionally, teacher interviews and observationswere conducted for triangulation purposes about students' performance in mathematics and attitude toward mathematics.A theme oriented matrix was used to analyze the data. The results of the study found that students' confidence in ability to do mathematics, perceptions of mathematics, confidence in ability to do the estimation, perceptions of estimation and tolerance forerror were identified as affective factors related tostudents' computational estimation ability
