CONTEXTUAL LEARNING APPROACH AND SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN GEOMETRY IN GOKANA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF RIVERS STATE

Abstract

Geometry is one of five themes of mathematics at the senior secondary school level. Mathematics according to Odilo, (2006) “is the science of quantity and space”. It can also been seen variously as a body of knowledge, a collection of techniques and methods, product of human activity and even activity itself, namely the solving of problems.
