This study investigated learning styles of students on the General Mathematics (GSE212) achievement of students from the school of Arts, and Social Sciences and students from the School of Languages in FCT College of Education, Zuba-Abuja. 20 items on Basic General Mathematics Achievement Test (BGMAT) GSE212 was used and each had five options in multiple-choice formal. The Index Learning Styles (lLS) consists of 23 statements suggesting students preferred learning styles was used. The sample (N= 250) comprised 130 (52%) students from school of Arts and Social Sciences and 120 (48%) students from school of Languages. It was discovered that students from school of Arts and Social Sciences and students from school of Languages with the similar sequential/Global learning styles do not achieved equally well in GSE 212 test. This implies that students offering Arts and Social sciences subjects have significant effect in their achievement in Mathematics. It is therefore, concluded that students in both schools should be given equal opportunities in learning of mathematics and lastly, there is need for more work to be done on teacher teaching styles and students learning styles in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
