Abstract

This research work investigates the impact of audio-visual materials in teaching Mathematics in senior secondary schools in Kaduna. The study therefore is limited to some selected senior secondary schools in Kaduna. A random sample of 40 teachers was used for the survey. The research instrument used was questionnaire containing 40 items. The respondents strong agreed to the two research questions which bitterness the fact that there is need for concerted efforts by teachers to adopt new strategies in the teaching of mathematics and students low level of perception of mathematics is enhanced, the challenges encountered by teachers in teaching the subject of mathematics is tackled and new strategies for teaching mathematics is adopted, students level of performance in internal and external examinations will improve tremendously.
