| Abstract: | Abstract: The study sought to improve the performance of basic 2 pupils of Wesco Demonstration Basic school in addition of two-digit numbers using multi-base blocks as an intervention strategy. An action research was design used for the study. A total sample size of 34 pupils; made up of 21 boys and 13 girls; with an average age of 8 years were used for the study. A purposive sampling procedure was used to select the pupils for the study. Test and interview were the two (2) instruments used for the study. Data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. It was revealed that lack of parental support in school and at home; lack of TLMs; difficult language used by mathematics teachers when teaching; and lack of mathematics laboratories for practical lessons were some of the causes of pupils’ difficulties in solving addition of two-digit number concept. Also, it was observed that pupils had seven (7) common misconceptions with regards to addition of two-digit number concept; and some of these misconceptions were that pupils add a column where it does not exist; and pupils sometimes begin adding with the left hand column first. Again, it was revealed that pupils’ performance had improved greatly after they have been exposed to multi-base blocks approach. Finally, it was found out that all the pupils were very impressed about multi-base blocks approach used in teaching them the concept and that they wanted such activities to be continued in subsequent mathematics lessons. It was therefore recommended that Basic school teachers should use effective teaching approach such as multi-base blocks approach in teaching mathematical concepts such as addition of two-digit number concept so as to make mathematics teaching at the Basic school more practical to these young pupils in schools. |
