Abstract

Mathematics is a core subject that is taught at both the elementary and secondary levels of Nigeria education system. It is so much essential that a credit pass in it is required for any candidate to be admitted into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Researches have also established the fact that the attitude of students towards its teaching and learning is not encouraging just as their performance in the subject has been found rather poor. English Language on one hand is the official language cum the language of instruction but on the other hand, Mathematics has a language and register of its own. Teaching Mathematics to learners with visual impairment requires more concerted effort by the teacher, particularly in the choice of language. Thus, the study presents effects the use of demonstrative pronouns “this” and “that” could have on the learning of Mathematics by students with visual impairment.
