ADAPTATION OF MULTIMEDIA TO TEACHING OF SOME SELECTED TOPICS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS (A CASE STUDY OF SURULERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF LAGOS STATE)
ABSTRACT
This project work was carried out by the researcher in order to investigate the impact and effect of Multimedia on the teaching and learning of mathematics using primary school in surulere local government as a case study.
Some primary school was selected in surulere local government; Ten primary schools were used as sample for this study. Three hundred (300) students pupils of primary school were selected randomly. Five hypothesis were tested and from the result obtained, the researcher was able to discover that it is high time we begin the use of Multimedia in our private and public schools since in the yearning of the pupils throughout the schools visited it was widely acceptable and embraced only for our government and cooperate bodies to pump finance into it for effective utilization.
Based on the finding of the study, adequate recommendations were made,

CHAPTER ONE
- BACKGROUND OF STUDY:
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is a means of shaping and sharpening mans thinking and a discipline worth of studying for its own sake, which is capable of giving pleasure and satisfaction to those who are able to study it. Mathematics is needed for proper understanding, qualification and record keeping of our daily activities.
Despite the growing body of evidence on the impact of multimedia use on learners, whether it will deliver its potential depends to a large extent on how teachers handle the use of multimedia. The resourcefulness of a teacher is used in identifying the right material and how to utilize the material well. Itemize the students/ pupils learning habits will change for better and teacher’s performance when evaluated will soar positively. Schools have in the past seen many initiatives to encourage greater use of technologies, Sometimes locally driven, sometimes nationally driven.
Multimedia is refer to situation where media are combined/ integrated together and used in the teaching learning process to enhance effective learning examples of multimedia material include newspaper, radio or television, computer etc are combined and used, them, we talk of multimedia approach in education.
Today the use of multimedia is becoming increasingly more popular than before. As a matter of fact, it is the in thing now. They help to enhance learning efficiency, effectiveness and appeal.
- STATEMENT OF STUDY: The use of multimedia in primary school can only be of tremendous important to both learners and the teachers, because of the following reason below. The class size increase: Most of classes in public primary school are so large in terms of pupils to the extend that it has becomes extremely difficult for a teacher coping with conventional method of teaching but with the use of multimedia both the learner and the teacher will find things easy.
Increased motivation goes together with positive learning attitude, this will enable pupils being more involved in learning activities.
Quality of teachers handing the material also matter a lot, the teacher in the class his/her versatility to the use of multimedia will determine the level of assimilation of pupils.
Attitude of teacher/pupils to the use of multimedia has greatly been checked mating and goes a long way to bring positive result. There is also evidence of change in the roles of teachers either forced by the technology itself or more actively steered by teachers.
1.3 THE OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The objective of this study is to see to the effectiveness of multimedia to learning and teaching, since learning is more likely to be able to retain and recall with ease a greater percentage of what they hear, see and manipulate at the same time
To also see the help of multimedia as a way of passing individualizes instruction.
Further-more to see the help of multimedia in lend support, authority or authentically to what the teacher says e t c.
- THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY:
The research work will contribute immensely to the use of multimedia in teaching of mathematics in primary school.
-It is assumed that the findings of this research work would provide data for other educational and concerned agencies, policy making and implementation.
-It will also show the important of multimedia in the future, to implement new forms of training both for the teachers and the pupils/student in question
1.5 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purposes of this study are as follows
-To investigate the level of adaptation of multimedia to teaching/learning activities.
-To review numbers and quality of multimedia facilities material available in public school.
-To identify the level of pupil/student performance in their lesson and possible increase in teacher motivation to work.
-To also identify problem facing implementation of multimedia materials to teaching activities.
-So also to measure performance of student/pupils whenever multimedia materials are used.
1.6 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
HQ1: The impact of multimedia to the pupil’s performance is significance.
HQ2: The impact of multimedia on teacher’s attitude and the motivation to work is significance.
HQ3: The impact of multimedia on teacher’s attitude and teaching techniques is significant.
- SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY
The study is designed mainly to investigate the use of multimedia in teaching of primary mathematics in some selected schools precisely Surulere Local government Area. The study will be limited to seven selected topics in primary school mathematics scheme/curriculum considering the sampling of about 10(ten) randomly selected primary schools under the local government area.
- RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
Attempts are made to answer the following research questions.
Is there any improvement in teaching and learning of mathematics when use multimedia materials.
What value so far has multimedia material added to the teaching and learning of mathematics’ in primary school?
Is there any support from the cooperate bodies as to the provision/supply of multimedia to the schools.
- DEFINATION OF TERMS:
The following terms are conveyed and disseminated.
Educational media: This refers to all educational resources whether graphics photographic, electronic or mechanized means of arresting processing, restricting visual, verbal information or combination of both.
Multimedia: This is combination of two or more form of media combined/integrated and used in teaching –learning processes to enhance effective learning.
Electronic media: This is simply information carrying devices which can be Used for disseminating information.
Audio media: This form of media carry sound alone e g radio, public address system e t c.
Visual media: These are media that could be seen only.
Audio visual media: It is also called transmitted media. This combined both sound and vision.
