that teachers of mathematics should adopt good teaching methods of mathematics and also
motivate learners.

negative attitude towards mathematics, among others. meaning that these were found to have
greatly contributed to poor performance in mathematics by the pupils.
The recommendations of the study are;
To the ministry of Education, sports and technology; the minisl!y of education should put
