The purpose of this study is developing a new activity program of mathematics miscellany; which correspond with the basic direction of the Ministry of Education, expanding good human relations, facilitating teamwork, and to enhance creative and positive attitudes toward mathematics. The effect of the activity program of mathematics miscellany developed by the researcher of this study can be concluded like below. First, a new activity program of mathematics miscellany, which can elicit the learners` interests and positive attitudes, was developed considering the level of students and the current 2015 National Curriculum of mathematics. And this program provides learners a chance to change into their thought that mathematics are related to real life closely. Second, the program developed affects self-esteem, interest, motivation, and anxiety to mathematics positively. The program enhences learners` interests and improves the value of mathematics in real life. Third, anxieties to mathematics were relatively ineffective compared to other factors. This phenomenon can be explained by their pressures of entrance examination for university.
