%X The aim of this study was to construct a questionnaire: the mathematics values questionnaire (MVQ). Because a little is known about students¡¯ mathematics values and no assessment tool is available to measure students¡¯ mathematics values to obtain more insight into their perspectives. For this, the proportional stratified random sample of the study consisted of Grade 5 (11-12 years old) and Grade 9 (14-15 years old) students attending schools in Turkey. The data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analyses by using a recently developed and validated survey instrument. The questionnaire¡¯s structural and predictive validities were investigated using a Principal component analysis (PCA) and an item analysis (item-total correlations and comparison of differences in means for distinctly different groups). Six components were extracted: relevance (C1), practice (C2), information and communications technology (ICT) (C3), feedback (C4), learning approach (C5), and consolidating (C6). Our results showed that Grade 5 students placed more importance than Grade 9 students for all the six value components
