The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of enrichment activities program based on educational techniques in developing attitudes towards mathematics among third-grade students in Jordan. To achieve the goal of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive and quasi-experimental approach to obtain the results. The study population consisted of third-grade students in government schools affiliated with the Directorate of Education in Jerash Governorate. The study sample consisted of (60) male and female third-grade students, which were chosen by the random cluster method, and a questionnaire was built to determine the quality standards of the unit outputs of collecting numbers within 9999 and subtracting them, and measure the attitude of third-grade students towards mathematics. Appropriate statistical analyzes were conducted and quantitative results were extracted through arithmetic averages and standard deviations. The most important results shown by the study were: There is a statistically significant difference at the level of statistical significance (0.05) between the outcomes of the experimental and control groups in the students' attitude towards mathematics in the unit of collecting numbers within 9999 and subtracting them for the third-grade students in Jordan. These differences are attributed to the experimental group. The study contributed to building an enrichment activities program based on educational techniques and revealing its effectiveness in developing third-graders attitudes towards mathematics in Jordan.
