Performance of mathematics faculty in teaching is a product of various attributes directly or indirectly affecting it. Understanding the matter of delivering instruction and the perception on what attributes have affected this performance might help in the understanding why the presentation and method of instruction emerged to be the cause of the difficulty in learning Mathematics. Since the teacher's presentation and method of instruction has been found to have a significant contribution to students' understanding of Mathematics, teaching performance of mathematics faculty in Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology (DOSCST) were investigated considering their length of service. Majority of the members of the group are new to teaching, this has been indicated by constant shift of methods and strategies when one does not work. A member coming from the mid-service elaborates using meaningful learning and the senior faculty, with the length of her experience shares beyond what is expected of her. With the outstanding result of the quantitative contribution evaluation for their teaching performance, a closer look using quantitative analysis has led to understanding how the delivery of instruction is done by the Mathematics faculty members considering the motivational attributes. Teaching performance were analyzed in relation to motivational attributes perceived to have affected teaching performance. With this, eleven Mathematics faculty members have participated in the study. Using case study approach, particularly cross-case analysis was done based on the responses of students, superiors and teachers themselves. Five (5) attributes explicitly express direct relationship to teaching performance as inferred from their achievement, advancement opportunities, personal growth, work itself and working condition which suggest likelihood on the teaching performance. The impact of motivational attributes has emerged in this study, where achievement adds up to confidence and ignites the fire of motivation. Advancement opportunities keep Mathematics faculty abreast with the latest teaching trends. Personal growth has made teaching better, that is further strengthened by experience that teaches them great teaching lesson. Recognition, as motivational attributes barely affects performance. Responsibility as the 'super ego' in teaching, helps the teacher define the "do's and dent's" . Teaching itself increases teaching performance, its impact is better working with the experienced self fulfillment brought about by the job itself. This happens when teacher's performance is reciprocated with active participation and performance. Administration and leadership define practices in teaching. Co-worker relations define how far is the network of sharing concepts, materials, technologies and teaching opportunities, Remuneration keeps teaching performance on the focus of achieving classroom goals. Once the needs provided by remuneration are not met, the probability of a disturb teacher delivering instruction is highly likely. Working condition limits what the teacher can achieve in class. Other attributes that emerged to influence teaching performance is the other tasks of the teachers which are explicitly mentioned by the student responses during the validation. Experience and expectations are the attributes that are frequently mentioned to affect teaching performance.
