INTRODUCTION. This search work intends to derive an investigation on poor transaction in math Subject and the factors hint to poor performance of form quaternity students in Kimala thirdhand drill which is the community school. This study testament also es teem the performance of Kimala secondary school form four National exam results of two years as of 2011 and 2012. 2. 1.HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF MATHEMATICS PERFOMANCE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN TANZANIA interpreterICULARLY KIMALA SECONDARY SCHOOL. Mathematics is compulsory subject in Tanzania but it is the using in scientist matter in Tanzania and it is expendd as a major of instruction from secondary schools to 3rd level. All official and legal documents are written appreciate the Mathematics subject as the best in refresh brain and to make soul to calculate each and every thing in maths methods. Mathematics was introduced in Tanzania by the British during the colonial era. . 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT The topic to be investigated in this study is the performance of Mathematics subject in form four National examinations in Kimala secondary school. 1. 2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The police detective wants to make an evaluation on the performance of Mathematics subject in form four Nati onal examinations in Kimala secondary school. 1. 3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. 4. GENERAL OBJECTIVE To evaluate the form four students Mathematics performance in National examinations. 1. 5.SPECIFIC OJECTIVE .To investigate how Mathematics subject is performed in National examinations by Kimala secondary school, form four students. .To examine and evaluate the Mathematics performance in form four National examinations of two years in Kimala secondary school. 1. 5. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The look allow help to improve Mathematics Subject and academic performance in Kimala secondary school. 1. 6. ORGANIZATION OF THE STUDY This research proposal consists of three (3) chapters.The source chapter will help the detective to discover the causes of poor Mathematics performance of form four students in Kimala secondary school. Chapter two will be close other researchers findings. Chapter three will talk about research methods which will be used in this research work. HYPOTHESIS OF TH E STUDY 1. May be the overlook of text book 2. May be the shortage of the can be the factor that affects the performance of form four students in Kimala secondary school 3. May be undisciplined of the students. DEFINITION OF TERMS. 1. 7. LIMITATION OF THE STUDYThe researcher faced some problems during research proposal writing as follows Lack of enough silver for typing, printing and binding this research proposal. a. DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY. investigator has tried to type, print and bind this proposal by using his pocket money. CHAPTER TWO 1. LITERATURE REVIEW. This chapter will provide a range of reviewed literature which will be relevant to the study which will speculate school environment in relation to performance of mathematics subject in Kimala secondary school. THE LACK OF TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS AFFECT MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE.Anderson, B (19902) stated that, Kilimanjaro region success in reproduction sector is made possible by the donor who funded school dogm a materials like mathematics books. Though Kilimanjaro region became the second after Dar-es-Salaam. some schools in Kilimanjaro including Kimala secondary school receive support from world food program, international fund for agriculture development and other organizations which all together helps to feed schools and roughly students even those who are found among secondary schools in Kilimanjaro do not turn back home until they use evening time for studies.Mwendapole (20094) Reported that, half(a) of the students who attempted leaving certificate examination failed the Mathematics subject, as the look for educational and vocation training announced publicly through radio and television. The ministers report showed that most students performed poorly in Mathematics subject. This was the indication that there is lack of teaching and learning facilities like Mathematics books, Mathematics teaching aids like manila and others.According to Ahiakwo, M. J (1989295-6), A Crisis in th e school of some countries is being caused by irrelevant curricula, in adequately trained teachers, lack of teaching materials such as Mathematics text books which are projected for use in teaching as whole or part of contingent study course, reference books which are designed for use in teaching as whole or part of particular study course, reference books which curb collected information. Wickliffe N.J (1997181) Said, drawings combine the features of both picture and charts in that they represent something that is reliable and at the same time, do so in form of summary, drawings are symbolized summaries of the real earth and it is important to remember this, for symbolism is code and children need to be taught to reach such codes. This significance of objects is depicting the whole situation of lacking in English teaching in secondary schools in Tanzania. CHAPTER THREE 2. RESEARCH methodOLOGYThe research design was used especially cross section research design where the inform ation for study was collected on time in which both question for students ad interview for the head of the school and academic matter were used. The researcher was able to access many people so that he made genuine interpretation and generalization to other subject by using this research design. Also the researcher was able to spend few hours to complete the whole process of collecting data by using survey research. 3. 1. INTRODUCTIONThe researcher will use the questionnaires method which includes both open and closed questions and the observation method whereby he will visit Kilimanjaro secondary school. The targeted population will be considered 3. 2. try SIZE TARGETED POPULATION For successful research in Kimala secondary school likewise the researcher decides to use the sample size of 50% from Kimala secondary school. investigator intends to provide the questionnaires to 50% of the respondents The researcher will use both probability sampling and non probability sampling to co llect information whereby each and every segment will have equal chance of be selected.Probability sampling gives every member of the population equal opportunity of being included in the study. The researcher will use simple random sampling because it has no complexities involved. 3. 3. DATA COLLECTION METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS The researcher decides to use questionnaire methods, and actual observation in collecting information. A. QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD A Questionnaire consists of planned questions related to the topic in order to gather information required to accomplish the research work. 3. 4. DATA COLLECTIONThe researcher will use questionnaire to get information from the respondents. 3. 5. DATA ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION This study is aimed at analyzing the factors and reasons causing poor academic performance of form four students mathematics examinations. Researcher will use tables, pie charts, columns, bars and line charts to analyze and interpret the data he will obtain. BIBL IOGRAPHY Ahiakwo, M. J (1989). Faculty of Technical and Science Education.
