There are many factors within the schools that
contribute to students’ behavioural problems in
mathematics. The main ones are school discipline climate,
teachers, parents and students participations in teachinglearning process. This study was set to find if there exists
any relationship between school discipline climates and
students behavioural problems in mathematics classes. The
study was conducted in Lagos State Nigeria; two Local
Government Educational Areas (LGEA} were randomly
selected from the state. Forty junior secondary schools
were sampled from the LGEA – twenty public and twenty
private. Eighty mathematics teachers were used as
subjects of the study (two mathematics teachers per
school). Two hypotheses were postulated for the study; and
questionnaire on schools disciplinary climate was the only
instrument for the study. Analysis was done by using One
Way ANOVA and Pearson Product Moment Correlation
statistics. Result reveals that there is direct correlation
between schools disciplinary styles and students
misbehaviours in mathematics classes. Recommendations
were given for future improvement in schools discipline
with respect to teaching and learning of mathematics.
