dc.description.abstractThe importance of Mathematics encompasses shaping students’ future careers especially in the sciences. However, many students struggle to grasp its fundamental concepts, hence hindering their overall academic progress. Mathematics laboratories have been endorsed as a solution, but its impact on students’ achievement in Mensuration is unclear, especially considering the diverse learning environments and students’ backgrounds. As a result, this study determined the effects of Mathematics laboratory on Senior Secondary School Students’ Academic Achievement in Mensuration in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study population consisted of 5,758 students which represents all the 2023/2024 academic year Senior Secondary School Two (SS 2) students of government owned secondary schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. However, 152 SS 2 students selected from three schools using multistage sampling procedures with three intact classes represented the sample. The study employed a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design. Data were analysed using Analysis of covariance and descriptive statistics. Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) KR20 = 0.82 was used to measure students’ academic achievement in Mensuration. Results showed a significant difference in Mensuration achievement between students exposed to traditional Mathematics laboratory [F(1;146) = 12.020; P <0.05], and those taught using virtual Mathematics laboratory methods [F(1;146) = 10.018; P < 0.05]. Additionally, class size interacted with Mathematics laboratory to influence achievement [F(1;146) =8.380; P <0.05], but students’ socio- economic background not significant to the students’ academic achievement in Mensuration. The study recommends that Mathematics teachers should integrate the use of Mathematics laboratory into teaching and learning of Mathematics.
