Abstract:
The study investigated on effect of Number Card Game Approach and Teachers' Mastery on Early Years Children Achievement in Numeracy. A case of Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State. A randomized control group pre-post test experimental research design was used in this study as such design allows for randomization and manipulation of results at any situation. This design is very suitable for this study because two groups were used in this study having an experimental group given treatment package and a control group given dummy talk. The population for this work was all Public Primary Pupils in basic 4 in Lagos state. A sample of 40 early years children from fourearly years schools was used as samples for this study. Numeracy Achievement Test (NAT) with 20 items was used as instrument alongside a treatment package that can manage materials on the four basic operations. A pilot test was conducted on 10 pupils distinct from the main samples of the study and a test re-test method of reliability was employed and a reliability co-efficient value of 0.83 was determined. The use of Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) statistical analysis was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that significant mean score and in the mastery level and significant differences in the mean score of the groups were all established. The study concluded that Use of Number Card Game Approach if well administered, adapted or adopted by teachers of numeracy in schools would bring about a significant improvement in children achievement in Numeracy related subjects both within and outside the classroom situation. It recommended that in other to allow for validation of existing packages, scholars should engage in the "Evaluation of Numeracy Treatment Packages in early years Schools".
