Abstract: This study assessed the effectiveness of micro learning on primary school pupils’ academic performance in mathematics in Mangu Local Government Area; Plateau State. The design adopted for the study was a descriptive survey design with four research questions and one hypothesis formulated to guide the study. The population consisted of 1,432 public primary five pupils. A sample of 190 respondents was selected to participate in the study using stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire titled Effectiveness of Micro Learning on Public Primary School Pupils’ Academic Performance in Mathematics Questionnaire (EMLPPSAPMQ) was used for data collection. The reliability of the research instrument was obtained using Cronbach alpha method with reliability coefficient of 0.87. The research questions were answered using the mean score, while hypothesis was tested using chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results indicated that micro learning reduced study time and improves mathematics performance by enhancing understanding of mathematical concepts, developing problem-solving skills and critical thinking and increasing pupil motivation and engagement. Arising from these findings; it was recommended that Ministry of Education should integrate micro-learning into the primary school mathematics curriculum, to leverage digital resources for enhanced learning outcomes and Government should allocate necessary funds to ensure adequate digital infrastructure and resources for micro-learning in all primary schools.
