Abstract
This research work was carried out to identify The Influence of Instructional Material and Instructional Methods on Students’ Performance in Mathematics. The research was done as survey research and aimed to determine the importance and
need for various instructional materials and methods in teaching Mathematics and how these instructional materials and methods can be utilized to enhance students' performance in Mathematics. Four research questions were raised, of which two
were hypothesized and analyzed to guide this study. The random sampling technique was utilised in the selection of hundred (100) mathematics students from five (5) senior secondary schools in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo state.
The data were collected with a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The frequencies, mean, standard deviation, and percentages were calculated using parametric statistics. The
result showed that instructional materials enable students visualize and understand complex concepts in Geometry, thereby improving their academic performance.
