The study examined the Effect of Audio-Visual Aided Instruction on Junior Secondary Students’ Interest and Achievement in Fraction in Nasarawa State. The study is a quasi-experimental research in which pretest-posttest was used. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the schools that were used for this research work. It was purposive in the sense that only schools having functional ICT units that were used for the study. The population was made up of 918 JS1 (504 males and 414 females). Two intact classes drawn from two government schools were selected for this research work. One class was used as experimental group while the other as control group. A validated 40 items Fraction Achievement Test (FAT) and 20 items Fraction Interest Scale (FIS) were constructed by the researchers as instruments for the study. Data were collected and analyzed to answer the research questions using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using ANCOVA. It was found that students taught fraction using audio-visual aided instruction achieved higher than their counterparts who were taught using conventional method. Students expressed higher interest in fraction when taught using audio-visual aided instruction. The study therefore recommends that mathematics teachers should be encouraged to adopt the use of audio-visual aided instruction in teaching and learning of fractions in mathematics to improve students’ interest and achievement in the subject.

The performance of Nigerian students in the Senior School Certificate Mathematics Examinations over the years has not been encouraging. Studies have indicated that this is partly due to students’ lack of in-depth knowledge of some selected topics in mathematics. Pieces of evidence abound in literature and WAEC Chief examiner’s reports indicating that students performed poorly in set theory with Venn diagram. Therefore, this study examined the effects of think-pair-share on senior school students’ performance in mathematics in Ilorin, Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to examine: (i) the performance of students’ taught set theory using think-pair-share cooperative instructional strategy; (ii) the difference in the performance of students taught using think-pair-share instructional strategy based on gender and score level; (iii) the influence of think-pair-share instructional strategy on students’ retention in set theory. The researcher employed a quasi-experimental design for the study. The sample consisted of 118 SS II students. The instruments used for the study was Mathematics Performance Test (MPT). The instruments yielded reliability values of 0.78 using Pearson Product Moment Correlation procedure. The data collected were analyzed using independent sample t-test, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings of the study showed: (i)  a statistically significant difference in the performance of students taught set theory using think-pair-share compared with their counterparts in the control group in favour of think-pair-share group, (ii) no statistically significant difference in the performance of male and female students taught set theory in Mathematics using think-pair-share; (iii) no statistically significant difference in the performance of students taught set theory in Mathematics using think-pair-share based on scoring levels; and (iv) a statistically significant difference in the knowledge retained by students taught set theory in Mathematics using think-pair-share compared with their counterparts in the control group in favour of think-pair-share group. The study concluded that the use of think-pair-share improved students’ performance in Mathematics, gender of a student does not affect his or her performance in Mathematics, and the use of think-pair-share improved the retention ability of the students. It was recommended among others that the use of think-pair-share be encouraged for teaching and learning of Mathematics at all levels of education.
