Results of the study showed no significant differences noted on students mathematics achievement after exposure to the three methods of instruction when pre-test scores in the mathematics achievement test were used as covariate. How ever , the paired samples t-tests showed that there was a significant difference in students mathematics achievement test scored before and after exposure to Treatment 1, Treatment 2, and Conventional set up.
