Challenges for students in the 21st century, such as acquiring technology, problemsolving, and cooperation skills, also necessitate changes in mathematics education to be able to respond to changing educational needs. One way to respond to these challenges is by utilizing recent educational innovations in schools, for instance, among others are flipped learning (FL) approaches. In this paper, we outline our explorative educational experiment that investigates vital elements of mathematics learning in FL approaches in upper secondary education. We describe the methodologies and findings of our qualitative study based on design-based research to discover key elements of FL approaches in upper secondary education. Analyzing the oral and written data collected over ten months using grounded theory approaches suggested categories (a) confidence when learning; (b) learning by working, and, and (c) flexibility when learning could be essential to understand FL approaches practices in mathematics classrooms. These categories indicate that when using FL approaches in mathematics learning, it could be essential for students to acquire knowledge in a confident and adaptable environment actively.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the impact of the implementation of lesson study on students' motivation in mathematics and mathematics achievement as well as gender in a public university in Selangor, Malaysia. Seven mathematics lecturers, a physic lecturer and researcher, formed a lesson study group. This group planned and designed five research lessons about the functions focusing on problem-solving. A lecturer was chosen randomly to teach these lessons to his classes as experimental and control groups. In this study, mathematics motivation test (5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (not at all true) to 5 (very true)) and lecturers developed tests were used to investigate the impact of lesson study on mathematics motivation and achievement. The data were analyzed by using independent t-test, ANOVA test, MANOVA test and non-parametric the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of this study showed thatstudents in the experimental group obtained better results in both motivation andachievement tests. Also, there is no statistically significant interaction between the effects of educational method and gender on mathematics achievement scores. Furthermore, the results showed that the level of motivation is different among groups by gender, but there were no significant mean differences among groups in any of subscales.

It seems that Nigeria's educational system has been undergoing improvement only on quantitative when it comes to the number of enrolments in students and schools. However, little effort has been put in place in terms of capacity (physical and material resources, human and financial resources) to manage high enrollment. Resources capacity in secondary schools was nothing to write home about. Most of these resources in secondary school were dilapidated. To worsen the scenario, the scarce resources allocated to these schools are grossly inadequate compared to students' enrollment and come late to the end-users in the public secondary schools. The various stakeholders in the education sector express stern concern about the consistently poor performance of students in secondary schools, especially in mathematics. Since secondary school education is expected to be free by the government, coupled with population increase, it is reasonable for people to take advantage of the free education program. Although the government and private sector of education keep providing qualified teaching staff and non-teaching staff, students in secondary schools still face poor performance in mathematics. The effect of all these on the academic performance in Nigeria's mathematics secondary school students concerns researchers of this empirical work. It is based on these issues and many more that this work sought to empirically investigate the impact of resource factors and quality of instruction on the performance of Nigeria secondary school students in mathematics.
