“…Finally, the research revealed the academic achievement of senior secondary students who learned geometry using mathematical software is not dependent on gender. The result supports the earlier findings by [29] whose studies found that there is no interaction effect of the use of geometers' sketchpad and gender on SS1 students' achievement in geometry.…”

In spite of the numerous benefits of geometry to the learners, there has been an abysmal achievement of students in the concept. Could it be that an appropriate teaching strategy is not used in teaching the concept to the students? This quasi-experimental research design was carried out using non-randomised pretest and posttest group. To ascertain the achievement of high school students using mathematical software in geometry class. David kolb’s experiential theory of learning was used as an underpinning theory. From the total of 12,308 high school students in Benue state Nigeria, 457 sample was drawn for the study. Test of hypotheses was done using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance, whereas Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the questions in the research. The findings of the research show that students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group, with a Mean score of 68.94 versus 58.45. The study findings also showed a statistically difference in the achievement and there were no gender disparities in both groups. The study concluded that mathematical softwares improved students’ achievement, hence, recommended that teachers should adopt mathematical software in the teaching of geometrical constructions and other mathematical concepts for students’ high achievement.

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Linear Motion Graph learning module (PGeL) among Form Four students. The design of this study is the developmental research which involves the development of the PGeL learning module based on the ASSURE instructional design model. The module was developed by applying chunking elements, mnemonic, interactive simulations, POE approach (predict, observe and explain) and graphics techniques. The effectiveness of the PGeL module was investigated using the quasi-experimental design. A total of 94 secondary school students in Kuala Lumpur zone were selected as respondents using the cluster random sampling technique and consist of two groups; the treatment group and the control group. The effectiveness of the PGeL learning module was determined using pre-test and post-test question sets. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software. The findings showed that the developed PGeL learning module had high face validity and content validity of 97.1% and 95.3%, respectively. The pre-test and post-test questions were used to collect information on student achievement in the Linear Motion Graph topic. Analysis of student responses in context found that the treatment group showed a better improvement in achievement compared to the control group, with the best improvement being in problem-solving contexts. Independent samples t-test analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the pre-test score between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.824) = -0.223, p>0.05]. Independent samples t-test analysis also showed that there was a significant difference in the post-test score between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.000) = 10.919, p<0.05]. Furthermore, independent samples t-test analysis showed that there was a significant difference in achievement between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.000) = 12.622, p<0.05]. In conclusion, the developed PGeL learning module is effective in improving the achievement of form four students in the Linear Motion Graph topic. The implication of this study is that the PGeL learning module is suitable for use as a learning aid for the Linear Motion Graph topic.
