performance in the l

collected by use of questionnaires. The data shall be' collected by use of

descriptive statistics that involves data tabulation through random samples in

order to give a generalized analysis.

The highlights will be the factors undermining the continuity of good

performance in mathematics in the l

The findings will be useful to teachers of matliemalics, head teachers, school
