Policies and Strategies for the Improvement of Mathematics Teaching and Learning at the Senior Secondary School (SSS) Level

Mathematics is a subject meant to be enjoyed if properly handled by the teacher (teaching) and the students (learning). Nigerian schools have not been able to achieve hundred percent (100%) rate of success in mathematics in both external and internal examinations over the years due to some reasons (Jegede, 2003; Onabanjo, 2007). However, many researchers have proved some factors to be responsible for this among which are teaching and learning strategies, governmental factor, environmental factors and others. This paper therefore focuses on policies and strategies for the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning at the Senior Secondary School (SSS) level. Various policies and strategies were discussed which if put into practice continuously will improve the teaching learning situation of mathematics at the SSS level and will yield better results. Conclusion and recommendation were thereafter made.
