Paper Details

This experimental research investigated the effect of geoboard instruction on learners' mathematics achievement in geometry. Participants of the study were 60 grade 9 learners classified into two groups – the control group and the experimental group. The participants of this study were learners with low achievement geometry that needs to be remediated. The experimental group was exposed to geoboard instruction and the control group learned through non-geoboard instruction. Results show that after being exposed to geoboard and non- geoboard instruction, learners from both groups improved their achievement in geometry. Comparing the post-test scores of students between the two groups, the result showsthat learners exposed to geoboard instruction have better achievement in geometry than those exposed to the non-geoboard instruction. It was concluded that geoboard instruction promoted more effective learning in mathematics.
