Abstract
The topic “Problem of Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in Senior Secondary Schools in Enugu North†has been a problem for some years now, that the teaching and learning of mathematics has brought a problem to our future bright who takes mathematics as a difficult subject to read as course and to teachers in our schools today, the statement of the problem tells that despite all the noble efforts, the problem of poor achievement in mathematics has continued to rear it’s head as a core difficult subject in science, the purpose of the study is aimed at what is the factors in teaching and learning of mathematics, to examining that strategies that could cause the difficulty in the teaching and learning and the extent government support to improve mathematics setback, the scope of study was limited this work to some secondary schools in Enugu North, the significance of the study explain the who is the beneficiary and how they benefits in the chapter two it talks about the review of related literature. It is always on the increase in the light of this significant problems of teaching and learning of mathematics in senior secondary schools in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu State, however, the centre of interest in our senior secondary school mathematics. In the process of the study, three (3) research questions were formulated and to validate these research questionnaire. Seven secondary schools was randomly selected from the entire population. Research instrument in form of questionnaire was administered to the area involved in the study. On the whole, thirty-five (35) respondents were collected.
