<p style="text-align: justify;">Mathematics serves as the basis of modern innovations, discoveries and research studies. Students nowadays tend not to apply the concepts of Mathematics in the solution of meaningful problems since they were bombarded with the different factors affecting their academic achievement in mathematics. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between intellective and non-intellective factors and the academic achievement of students in advanced algebra. The descriptive - correlational method was used to determine the relationship between the achievement test in advanced algebra and the intellective and non-intellective factors which include logical intelligence, family income, number of years spent in school of the head of the family, time allotted in studying mathematics and interest in mathematics. Cluster Sampling Design was used as sampling design; that is, 217 fourth-year high school students of F. Bustamante National High School, School Year 2011-2012 were taken as respondents. Pearson Product Coefficient of Correlation was used to determine the relationship between the variables. While the logical intelligence of senior students was satisfactory, relationship with the academic achievement of students was established in the findings at 0.05 level of significance, specifically in the domains of understanding, applying, analyzing and evaluating.</p>
