The study was conducted in eight secondary schools with the respondents being students, teachers and the headteachers oftl1e selected schools. The study was conducted using cross-sectional survey design because it enabled t11e researcher to obtain correlated data from different variables. The research tools used in this study were questimmaires and interview guide and used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data was analysed using percentage and frequencies for comprehensive analysis. The research findings were that most teachers use problem solving methods in teaching mathematics as indicated at 100% wltile few of them use lecture metl10ds as indicated at 06%. It was also fund out tllat the use of instructional materials in mathematics classes was almost negligible. In this study, it was recommended tl1at t11e ministry of education should harmonize tl1e policy of teaching mathematics by providing teaching and leaming resource organize in-service training for mathematics teachers and among ot11ers.
