The study was a quasi-experimental design, guided by three research questions and hypotheses. The population of the students comprises of all the Senior Secondary 2 students in Rivers State. A sample size of 122 was drawn from selected schools using purposive sampling technique. Two instrument were used, Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Mathematics Interest Inventory Questionnaire (MIIQ). The instruments were validated by experts in the field. The reliability of the instruments was determined using test retest and a reliability coefficient of 0.84 for (MAT) were obtained using Pearson Product Moment Correlation while for (MII) using Cronbach Alpha Method a coefficient of 0.89 was calculated.
