Popis: The study evaluated students’ achievement in mathematics using four methods of instruction. Sample of the study was 130 Junior Secondary School students from 4 schools in Taraba State, Nigeria. Quasi-experimental design was adopted. Data was generated using Terminal Mathematics Achievement Tests whose reliability indices were computed using Kuder–Richardson (KR – 20) formula. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research question while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to explore the impact of the instructional strategies at .05 level of significance. Finding revealed no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students exposed to the four instructional strategies. The study recommended that classroom teachers implement any of these instructional methods in their daily classroom instruction.
