ABSTRACT
This
research was conducted to look into effects of teachers experience in the
academic performance of students in Mathematics. Five schools were used in
Ifako Ijaye local Government Area of Lagos state on the whole, Fifty students
and twenty five teachers were interviewed using the questionnaires.
It
was found out that the problem arise from the skills and qualification of
teachers.
It
is the opinion of the researcher that qualified personnel should be employed to

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is the science of structure,
order, number, space and quantity . It is a relationship which revolves around
the elementary practice of counting measuring and description of shapes and
objects.
From
the social and economic perspective Mathematics is a key element and a day to
day activity that every living human being unconsciously practices in one form
or the other.
From
this perspective Mathematics is a subject of everyday application and
communication tool per excellence. The indisputable fact is that any good
student of Mathematics easily keys into other subjects of Mathematics easily
keys into other subjects. This explains why any student who is good in
Mathematics is found to be good in other subject.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
Mathematics,
as an area of study is not new both in Nigeria and elsewhere. What is new,
however, is the teaching and learning of it as an integrated subject with the
result that integrated Mathematics is yet to be firmly established in Nigerian
schools
Secondly,
and more importantly, there is the problem of knowing how to organize and plan
the Mathematics curriculum as well as develop the appropriate strategies for
implementing this in schools.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY.
To
identify the problem of the secondary school teachers in the teaching of
Mathematics
To
find out if the problem is as a result of the teachers sex.
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
What
are the problems of Mathematics teachers in secondary schools in the teaching
of Mathematics?
Are
the problems due to lack of necessary indigenous textbooks and instructional
materials?
1.5 HYPOTHESIS
There
will be no significant difference between the teachers experience and students
academic performance in secondary schools.
There
will be no significant difference between teachers attitude and students
academic performance in secondary schools.
The
attitude and academic performance of students in secondary school will not
significantly depend on sex and level of the student.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY.
The
study will help to identify the main problem faced by students in Mathematics,
such as lack of qualified teachers, inadequate relevance textbooks, poor method
used by the teachers, inadequate instructional materials, and problem of class
size etc.
1.7 LIMITATION
OF THE STUDY
The
study of the research will be restricted to only five secondary schools in
Ifako Ijaye local government area and questionnaire will be used for the students
to respond to.
I. Iju
grammar school Iju
ii. Ebenezer
comprehensive high school
iii. Fagba
