Abstract: Instructional materials play a vital role in teaching and learning objectives especially in technical subjects. This study investigated the Instructional Materials on the Academic Performance of Secondary School Students of Public and Private Secondary Schools in Mathematics in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State and how it affects learning outcomes. A total of twelve public secondary schools and thirteen private secondary schools in Ikenne local government were investigated. The research hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between types of instructional materials available for use and students’ academic performance in mathematics in public The study found out that most instructional materials used in teaching and learning mathematics are available in most of the private secondary schools and the students are satisfied with how the instructional materials are used in teaching them but were not visibly available in public secondary schools. The analysis revealed that the students in public secondary are not satisfied with the availability of instructional materials and how the instructional materials are used. The study recommends that mathematics teachers should endeavor to use improvised instructional materials for effective teaching of mathematics in public secondary schools where these instructional materials are not available to ensure that teaching and learning of mathematics is seamless. Also, Government and school proprietors should ensure that adequate employment of committed and qualified mathematics teachers are available to teach the subject in all secondary schools.
