Pre-test and post-test control group quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. A simple random selection strategy was used to choose the sample from all primary one students in the two public and private schools in Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State. Data were gathered using the study tool known as the Pupils Mathematics Achievement Test (PMT). Using Pearson Product Moment Correlation, the reliability index of PMT (r = 0.86) was calculated (PPMC). Using inferential statistics from the Analysis of Covariance, the study's seven research hypotheses were created and evaluated at a significance level of 0.05. (ANCOVA). The study's findings demonstrated that students' academic performance was significantly impacted when given access to improvised educational resources when learning mathematics. The academic performance of kids in mathematics was not significantly impacted by gender, despite the fact that school types had a major impact on that performance. Suggestions were made based on the study's findings.
