Secondary school mathematics achievement test (SSMAT), the test contained 30 (thirty) multiple choice items with four options (A – D) for each item was used to collect data for both pre and post tests. A reliability coefficient of 0.74 was obtained. The data were analyzed using t-test statistics. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that students taught mathematics with computer assisted instruction package in Nupe language performed better than those taught with conventional teaching method and gender has no effect on their mathematics achievement scores.
