A sample size of 160 SS1 students was used for the study. Three research questions were asked while three hypotheses were formulated and tested. Geometry Achievement Test (GAT), a 40-item instrument was developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by experts in Mathematics education, and measurement and evaluation department of University of Port Harcourt, while the reliability was established using test-retest and co-efficient index of 0.86 was determined using Pearson product moment correlation. Mean and Standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses formulated at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed a significant difference in the achievement mean scores of students taught geometry using creative game approac...

The data employed showed that the variables are differenced once to be statationary using Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test. Johansen Cointegration Test found long run relationships existing between growth of the economy (Gross Domestic Product) and Recurrent Expenditure variables. The result of Ordinary Least Square found positive and significant relationship between the dependent and independent variables, except administration that has negative relationship. The speed of adjustment was found to be 40.18%. That means short term errors can be corrected in the long run with annual speed of adjustment of 40.18%.VAR Granger Causality/Block Exogeneity Wald Tests found unidirectional effect with the variables, except social and community services that has a bidirectional effect or feedback effect. Therefore, the resear...
