male and the other female school. Three hundred and thirty-seven senior
secondary students from these schools purposively selected participated in the
study. Four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05level of significance. Four
instruments were developed, validated and used for data collection. Data were analyzed
using Analysis of Covariance and Scheffe Post hoc test. The findings showed
that treatment had significant effect on students’ achievement in Mathematics
