What is the perception of Mathematics teachers towards Mathematics laboratory programme in the school?
These few teachers believed that with the provision of adequate Mathematics textbooks for the teachers and students, mathematics learning can effectively take place and the students performance will be very high. Do the Mathematics students possess mathematical materials for studying Mathematics?: Results from the schools used for the study revealed that most of the students (65%) had no Mathematical instruments, while some students (25%) had incomplete Mathematical instruments, while only few students (10%) had complete mathematical instruments with them. Many students (60%) had no Mathematics textbooks, while the few that had were having defaced textbooks. The results showed that majority of the students do not have Mathematical materials necessary for studying mathematics and this can lead to poor performance in the subject. When students are equipped with the right Mathematical materials, the learning of mathematics becomes very practical. The possession of Mathematics textbook by
