Abstract
Arguably the teaching and learning of algebra in schools have been perceived as difficult (Looney, 2004) at all levels due to the non-usage of modern technology, especially in Africa. This study sought to explore how the geometer’s sketchpad (GSP) could be used to improve students’ performance in quadratic graphs. The study employed true-experimental (Post-test) design as a strategy of enquiry using Geometer’s Sketchpad application software in which the mixed-method strategy was used in the sampling of the study area, study respondents and analysis. A total of 80 students were sampled for the entire study but 40 for the Experimental Group and 40 for the Control Group not undermining gender fairness. The study revealed a positive improvement in student’s performance after using the Geometer’s Sketchpad Application (GSP) software. The study can confirm that the integration of GSP technology in teaching and learning of quadratics can improve students’ motivation, excitement and concepts understanding.
