Abstract :
The goal of this research project is to investigate how effectively the classrooms at the Emerald School and Alaafin Grammar School in Atakpo, Rivers State, use high-quality and adequate multimedia resources for teaching mathematics, as well as how this has influenced students’ ability to learn and be taught the subject. This study had three main goals: to learn how teachers and students perceive how much using multimedia tools for math affects students’ math performance; to look at the difficulties that teachers at Emerald School and Alaafin Grammar School have in obtaining and using quality multimedia tools for math; and to evaluate the methods that teachers employ to lessen these difficulties. The survey used in the study was cross-sectional. All students at Emerald School and Alaafin Grammar School in Atakpoo L.G.A. were included in the study population. Twenty pupils and five teachers from each school completed a semi-structured questionnaire. Additionally, one secondary district education officer and the heads of each school were questioned. The investigation came to the following conclusions: First, the effectiveness of teachers and students depends on the use of multimedia technologies in mathematics. Second, the majority of Emerald schools and Alaafin grammar schools in the Atakpoo L.G.A. lack necessary teaching and learning resources. Thirdly, the study showed that teachers employed a variety of tactics, including borrowing books and improvising, to lessen the difficulties associated with locating and utilizing high-quality multimedia tools for mathematics. The study suggests that the government allocate enough money to increase the accessibility of multimedia math tools across all secondary schools. This study suggests that additional research should look into specific aspects of how math teachers and students use multimedia resources for effective teaching and learning processes.
