This review was conducted to evaluate the current body of scholarly research regarding the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to teach mathematics to students with specific learning disability (SLD). For many years, computers are utilized for educational purposes. However, the effectiveness of CAI for teaching mathematics to this specific group of students is unclear. First, a brief review of the diagnosis of SLD, the importance of mathematics instruction for these students, and the use of computers in the classroom is provided. Next, a review of the current body of research is presented. Finally, suggestions for future research are discussed. Since 1981, a total of 25 research studies have been published, focusing exclusively on using CAI for teaching mathematics to students with SLD. This review examines the current body of research for this area. In addition, the author provides recommendations for future research on this important subject for this category of students.

This research focused on the effects of Computer Assisted Instruction Method (CAIM) and lecture method in teaching Mathematics on Senior Secondary School students’ performances. The research design for the study was an experimental research design. The sample comprised 371 SSI I students, randomly selected from Six (6) secondary schools where the two methods were adopted in teaching Mathematics (i.e. The Computer Assisted Instruction Method (CAIM) and Lecture Method (LM). The Student Mathematics Performance Test (SMPT) was designed, validated and used for collecting data. The data was analysed using the independent t-test for the hypotheses. The findings revealed a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of subjects exposed to experimental treatment using CAIM and students taught using the lecture method. There were significant Differences between Male and Female exposed to the same treatment using CAIM material. It was found that male students perform better than female students. The research, therefore, recommended the use of CAIM in Government schools. It should put more effort toward the provision of ICT facilities and training of teachers for better performance in Mathematics.
