The appropriate statistical techniques like frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, two-way analysis of variance ( ANOVA) were used to treat the data. From the results of the study, it was found that the mathematical aptitude of secondary school learners is categorized as Low Average, while their extent of exposure to interactive games fall under the Slightly Exposed category. In addition, there is no statistically significant difference in the mathematical aptitude of secondary school learners when grouped according to the levels of interactivity and extent of exposure to interactive games.
