Abstract	In order to interpret students' attitudes about mathematics, Vesife Hatisaru asks: What do students find necessary or useful in learning mathematics? And what are the connections between their perceived needs for mathematics and their attitudes, views and feelings about mathematics? In this article, she provides evidence on these critical issues in mathematics education. The current Turkish context makes it an ideal site for examining these issues, yet the results could be relevant beyond Turkey and informative for the other education contexts internationally. The research question asked is: What views do lower secondary students have about the needs for mathematics? Whether students' attitudes were impacted by their perceived needs for mathematics is also of interest. This analysis showed that the perceived needs for mathematics in students in this study were closely related to the standard aims of school mathematics. The majority of students found mathematics useful or necessary for functioning in daily life. (ERIC).
