Abstract

There is poor performance in mathematics among secondary school students in Delta State, Nigeria. Teachers, Parents, the government are all complaining about the poor performance of students in mathematics, and they are trying to find out how this problem can be solved. Many kinds of research have been carried out trying to find out the real cause of students’ poor performance in secondary mathematics, but they fail to focus much attention on the variable ‘study skills’ as one of the causes. The study is a survey type. Five hundred (500) students were sampled from 25 Government secondary schools, Delta State of Nigeria, through random sampling. The instrument used in gathering data for this study were the students’ Study Skills Questionnaire (SSSQ) and centrally set examination results from the state ministry of education. The result from the state ministry of education was used to gather data on the students’ performance in mathematics, while the questionnaire was used to gather information on students’ study skills. Two hypotheses were stated to guide the study, which was tested at a 0.05 level of significance using the SPSS and t-test statistic to analyze the data obtained. The result shows that there is a significant influence on students’ study skills and their performance in Mathematics. There was a significant difference between students who possess good study skills and those with bad study skills.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to examine early childhood math and some strategies on how early childhood math can be enhanced. Math is an important subject in the school curriculum that cannot be overlooked. The young child's math abilities or skills need to be developed for future life. Some methods on how to improve young children's abilities were reviewed. It was a qualitative study. From the review, it was revealed that developing young child math abilities is vital for them to progress in future math. Also, the reviews indicated that math assists young children in building up their math ability to solve problems and think critically. The findings demonstrate the importance of early childhood mathematics programs as a foundation for subsequent math teaching. Young children require a mathematical foundation from an early age in order to develop the concepts and abilities needed to succeed in school, multiple professions, and even daily life.
