An instrument titled Effect of Study Habits on Senior Secondary I and II Students’ Performance in Mathematics” was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument gave a Cronbach Alpha index of 0.80 which was considered reliable. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation in answering the research questions while the null hypotheses formulated were tested using Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that most of the schools do not have a functional Library and where it exists, it is ill equipped It was also found that students have difficulty taking note in class so, they prefer coping from their classmates. The study also found that students generally had below average scores in Mathematics in third term promotional examination in Ikwerre and Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
