ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to investigate the relationship between students' knowledge of mathematical concepts and their problem-solving ability with due consideration for their computational ability and comprehension of mathematics language. Secondly, it intends to find out whether teachers' methods of teaching mathematical concepts would have any positive effect on the improvement of problem-solving ability of students.
The study was carried out in Lagos State, using form four students of selected schools as subjects. For the first part of the study, five hundred and eighty- eight (588) Form Four students in selected schools' Management Committees were used as subjects while a new group of students numbering two hundred and forty (240) participated in the second part.
Four tests were constructed to measure the performance of students in problem-solving in mathematics.
