Abstract This study was aimed at investigating the effects ofWeb-Based Practice on students? performance in Coordinate Geometry among colleges of education mathematics in Northwest, Nigeria. In order to achieve this aim two research questions were asked two hypotheses were formulated. Seventy students were randomly selected each from two colleges of education and were assigned as experimental and control groups respectively. The two groups were pre-tested at the beginning of the experiment to ensure that they are similar. The experimental group was exposed to Khan Web-Practice in Coordinate Geometry. The instrument; KhanPracticeTest in Coordinate Geometry, was downloaded, validated by two senior lecturers in mathematics education. The reliability coefficient was calculated to be 0.80. The two groups were post tested, the results were analyzed using SPSS. Some of the findings include that; there was no significant difference between the performance of experimental group and that of the control group(P= 0.519).More so, no significant difference was found between male and female students exposed to Web-Based Practice (p=0.83). This shows thatWeb-Based Practice is gender friendly. It was recommended thatWeb-Based Practice should be incorporated in colleges of education, as additional learning strategy.
