Abstract: Abstract Purpose: Integration of e-learning in classroom-based with mathematics courses/modules is recognized in all secondary schools, because mathematics subject have ability helps students to perform well in other subjects. Design/Methodology/Approach: Descriptive survey research design with quantitative data approach through structured questionnaire. The reliability confirmed the Cronbach’s Alpha and the coefficient was 0.78. 120 students were purposively selected from 36 secondary schools in Ibadan North, a local government area of Ibadan, capital of Oyo State in Nigeria. At a significance threshold of 0.05, four research questions and two hypotheses were developed. Findings: The findings showed that e-learning platforms are not maximally utilized in mathematics among students in secondary school in Oyo State due to restrictions and difficulty of use as well as the students’ preference for traditional learning. Implications/Research Limitations: The study showed that there was a significant relationship between e-learning and students’ perceptions of mathematics learning, though with weak correlation. The study was limited to only secondary school in Oyo State and therefore, could not be generalized to all other secondary schools in Nigeria. Practical Implication: e-learning method serves as alternative to support teaching and learning using blended learning tools to support the classroom-based education, especially during this Post-COVID-19 pandemic. Social Implication: This research study will encourage both teacher and students to embrace technological tool in teaching and learning for the improvement on students’ academic performance. Originality/Value: This study encouraged that mathematics teachers should make an effort to maximize the benefit of e-learning in mathematics to create a greater impact in teaching and learning. And also, students should use the opportunity to improve on their self-pace studies using asynchronous method of online.
