Abstract
An investigation into the benefits of using activity - oriented teaching techniques and strategies to teach Mathematics in lower primary schools has been carried out in Sierra Leone. Four (4) primary schools in the Kenema City were selected for the research work; College Practicing School, Methodist Primary School, The Door International Academy Primary School and St. Paulâs Primary School. The variations in the characteristics in each of the schools selected were meant to provide balanced information and avoid biasness in the data collection process. 160 of class four pupils (40 from each of the Schools) and their Mathematics Teachers were selected for this research work. Stratified Sampling and Simple Random Sampling (SRS) methods were used to select pupils. Questionnaires and interview schedules were carefully designed to solicit information with regard to the appropriate teaching methodology that could be used to teach mathematics in lower primary schools. The results obtained were analyzed in a simplified manner using tables and calculating percentages. It was concluded in this research work that activity method is the best methodology to be used to teach mathematics in the lower primary schools and that the School Authorities should endeavour to make available the necessary teaching and learning materials for the effective teaching of mathematics.
