The research sampled five secondary schools using stratified random sampling techniques in Katsina local government area for fairness. Two research instruments were raised for the study. The instruments were the students September 2018 JSS results and a mathematics achievement test (MAT) developed by the researcher. Simple linear correlation was used to analyze the data collected. The result showed that there is a positive correlation of 0.7 between mathematics ability and achievement in other subjects.As a result of this finding, it is recommended that government should enrich our schools with adequate staff and facilities to improve student's mathematical abilities as a predictor for their overall achievement.

The study examined the significance of retention achievement scores of students taught using computer-aided instruction and those taught using the traditional method. The sample consisted of twenty senior secondary school students drawn from two secondary schools in Katsina. Stratified random sampling was used to select the 20 students (10 males and 10 females). Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated, and tested at 0.05 level significance. Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) made up of 40 items of multiple-choice objective type, developed and validated by the researcher was used as an instrument for data collection. The Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) was administered to students as pre-test and post-test. The results of students were analyzed using t-test statistic to test the hypotheses. The...
