Abstract
Mathematics homework plays a crucial role in determining students' performance in mathematics. Teachers play a major role in ensuring students complete their homework. In the process of evaluating mathematics homework, teachers mark the homework and give feedback on students' homework. Specifically, the researcher in this study focused on the type of comments given by the mathematics teacher on mathematics homework. Students' mathematics homework was marked, collected, and analyzed. Besides, five mathematics teachers were interviewed. The findings revealed that teachers gave constructive and positive comments on students' mathematics homework. Teachers should practice giving comments and feedback on students' mathematics homework to enable students to identify their faults and carelessness. In conclusion, feedback and comments on mathematics homework are essential, and circulars need to highlight the importance of marking and commenting on mathematics homework.
