<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to provide an overview of easy multiplication with the left to right method and also the right to left method (Al Khawarizmi Method). Furthermore, from easy multiplication with 2 methods, a test is carried out to determine the level of ease in its application to the two methods of multiplication. The method used in this research is experimental. While the approach in this research used is quantitative. The quantitative approach used includes testing the hypothesis on the median value. The conclusion of this study is that the median value of the posttest value of easy multiplication from left to right and easy multiplication from right to left is the same. Since the median is also the average value, it can also be concluded that the average number of easy multiplication posttest scores from left to right and easy multiplication posttest scores from right to left are the same. As an implication, the two easy multiplication techniques are able to produce the same level of convenience.]]>
