Abstract:
The ability to use simple numerical concepts to reason rationally is known as numeracy. Inadequate teaching methods may be to blame for a student's poor numeracy skills. To come up with a long-term solution to the problem of poor numeracy performance among students. A study conducted in Asa Local Government Area, Kwara State, examined the effects of personalized and direct instruction on the academic performance of students in numeracy. A quasi-experimental research design was used. Stratified random sampling was used. Numeracy teachers validated the instrument. It was determined that instrument had a reliability coefficient of.79 using PPMC. Analysis of Covariance(ANCOVA) was used. Hypotheses were tested at a significance level of 0.5%. For example, researchers found that treatments had a significant main effect on students' academic performance (F (2; 107) = 4.303, P 0.05) It was found that primary school students can benefit from personalized and direct instruction when it comes to numeracy. Teachers in training and those about to enter the profession should be exposed to seminars and workshops where they can learn how to use personalized instruction.
