Based on Cochran formula, 330 students were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling method. Research instrument was part of motivation strategies questionnaire of Pintrich. It included motivational strategies and average of students in previous year was also considered. Data were analyzed through applying Pierson correlation coefficient, simultaneous multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. It was found out that there is significant relationship between motivational strategies and mathematics learning at 99% significance level. Besides, regression analyses showed that exam anxiety, task value, and extrinsic goal orientation significantly predict mathematics learning of students. However, the contribution of other variables in predicting mathematics learning was insignificant. Path analysis results showed that task value and extrinsic goal orientation can indirectly- through exam anxiety- impact upon mathematics learning of students but exam anxiety has direct impact upon mathematics learning.
