Book excerpt: Abstract : This study investigated the effects of using student-centered techniques in math Form 2 (Eighth Grade) and the relationship among English literacy, Math Literacy, interest in math, study habits, home background and owning the Cameroonian math textbook with mathematical achievement. Data were collected from four different schools in the North West region of Cameroon. The experimental schools (GHS Shisong and GHS Kiyan) used student-centered techniques while the control schools (St. Peters and St. Francis) used teacher-centered techniques. Results showed that there was an improvement on mathematical achievement in one of the experimental schools due to the use of student-centered techniques. There was also a positive correlation between achievement and math literacy, math interest and study habits. English literacy, home background and owning the textbook didn't show any significant correlation with achievement. Based on these findings we suggest further research with a similar population and longer intervention time.
