Koros, Symon C.; Mubichakani, J.M
This study examined the factors that influence the use of instructional resources/materials in the teaching of&#13;
mathematics in secondary schools. Among the instructional materials that were investigated in their use are:&#13;
Textbooks and mathematical tables. The study focused on their use in terms of their availability, adequacy and&#13;
improvisation. The research design that was used in the study is descriptive survey. The research instruments&#13;
included questionnaire, interview schedules and document analysis. The sampling techniques that were used in&#13;
this research are stratified, simple random and purposive sampling. The respondents comprised 24 mathematics&#13;
teachers and 372 form two students. Four teachers were interviewed. Data analysis was done by use of&#13;
descriptive statistics. The study revealed that the selected instructional materials are not adequate. The main&#13;
recommendations are that school administrators, teachers, students and parents should be sensitized on the&#13;
