Butere Sub-County schools. Results are as shown in Table 4.13. Table 4.13: Principals’ Views on Availability of Resources. (n=21) Resources Available (%) Available but Not available not enough (%) (%) n n n Text 95 57 0 Models 23 23 61 Charts 57 29 61 Calculators 90 79 29 According to Kiragu (1986), textbooks, models, charts and calculators are to strengthen the students command in mathematics. The study found that 20 out of 21 Principals (95%) were on agreement that textbooks are available but not adequate while 19 (90%) said that the calculators are not available. On models, 5 (23%) out of 21 respondents said they were available but not enough for teaching mathematics and 12 (57%) out of 21 respondents indicated that there is neither commercial nor teacher made charts in their schools. The findings indicate shortage of these resources in schools. With such observation, it was worth finding out the effort made by mathematics teachers to teach with resources. To begin with, the study sought to establish whether teachers improvised the resources using the locally available materials.
