It was tested (@=0.05: when (t.cal. 2.35 > 1.796 tab value) and male students have interest in mathematics than female students i.e. to say, there was significance difference between male and female interaction and interest in mathematics. The study recommended that teachers should make use of alternative teaching methods like the use of games and simulations to motivate students' interest (male and female) in the learning of Mathematics.enGender interaction, Interest, Mathematics, Achievement.
