Abstract

The study investigated the Influence of Environment on the Performance of Secondary School Students in Mathematics in some selected States of the Northwest of Nigeria. The study is a survey research type and the sample size is 1000 Secondary School Students from Three States of Kebbi , Sokoto and Zamfara . The self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection and the percentage and mean were used to answer the research questions while Chi-square was used to answer the hypothesis. The finding revealed that the Environment of the School and the Student’s house has influence on the student’s Academic Performance in Mathematics. The researcher recommended that School should be cited far away from noisy areas such as Market and Industrial estate. This will control the pollution of the Environment and distraction from Academic work. Research study like this can also be conducted using other Geo-political areas of the Country or any other part of the World.
