The aim of the current research is to examine the Impact of the Homework in Mathematics on Learning Style of Arab Primary School Students in Israel as the issue of homework is an old problem despite successive suggestions and recommendations. The Significance of research stems from the importance of the homework in mathematics that accompanies the educational process, through which students are assisted in enhancing their' self-learning abilities to develop their intellectual abilities, and their creative and critical thinking. The writer depends on the qualitative method for examining. The research sample included 24 primary school students from Arab schools present in Israel to examine their tendencies towards homework in mathematics and its impact on students ' learning style. The results included two main groups: the first: social impact and the second: teacher's policy in dealing with homework.
