Abstract
A study was undertaken on selected sections of the Tana Haik Comprehensive Secondary School during the first
semester of the 1980 (E. C.) academic year to determine the relationship that may exist between students' class activity and the their academic achievement in mathematics.Students' semester results were compared with their class activity.In all study sections no association existed in the proportion of passes (those scoring fifty percent and above) between the active and passive students. There was no significant mean score difference between the activ'e and the passive in grades nine and eleven. A significant mean score differnce between the two groups was however observed in grade ' ten. An analysis of the sex distribution revealed no associatfon between class activity and sex in all the study sections except in grade ten.
