摘要：No other subject has greater application than mathematics. It is a prime instrument for understanding and exploring our scientific, economics and social world. Today more than everbefore, all fields of knowledge are dependent on mathematics for solving problems, stating theories and predicting outcomes. Although the importance of mathematics, as a subject basic to any scientific and technological development is universally acknowledged, evidences abound that it is a subject most dreaded by students at both primary and secondary levels and one in which students perform poorly. The traditional ways of teaching mathematics, which involve memorizing and reciting facts, rules, andprocedures, with an emphasis on the application of well-rehearsed procedures to solve routineproblems, are clearly not adequate. This paper therefore advocatesfor the use of sheep and goat method as a potent strategy for improving the teaching and learning of mathematics
