The misconception in mathematics education has been highlighted in various studies. However, there is still a limited literature review on students’ misconceptions in mathematics. The purpose of this study is to review and analyze articles on student misconceptions in mathematics published between 2014 and 2019. The literature search for this study was conducted using four online databases, namely ERIC, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. To ease the process, the researcher has set several inclusion and exclusion criteria before conducting the review. This study found that there is a decline in the number of articles published between 2014 to 2019 and that most studies have focused on primary school students. The study found that most of the studies conducted were aimed at determining misconceptions rather than overcoming students’ misconceptions in mathematics education. Also, the instruments and methods for obtaining data that researchers often use are through tests and interviews. Some suggestions on overcoming misconceptions in mathematics are also highlighted for further study.
