Abstract: This chapter introduces the study on factors affecting SHS students’ performance in trigonometry word problems at Agric Nzema Community Day School. It highlights the importance of trigonometry in fields like engineering and its role in the SHS curriculum. The problem statement outlines students’ ongoing struggles with trigonometry despite modern facilities at the school. The objectives focus on assessing factors like prior knowledge, teacher quality, resources, community support, socioeconomic status, and parental involvement. Six research hypotheses are presented to explore these relationships. The chapter emphasizes the significance of the study, aiming to inform strategies for improving trigonometry instruction and student performance. It also defines the scope and limitations of the research, acknowledging potential biases and the focus on Agric Nzema Community Day School.
