Abstract The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which supervision of instruction is important in maintaining quality assurance in effective teaching of Mathematics among Secondary School Teachers in Enugu East LGA in Enugu State. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Descriptive survey design was used. The sample of the study was 172 Mathematics teachers. This comprised of 111 experienced and 61 less experienced Mathematics teachers. Data for the study was collected using 9-item researcher-made questionnaires. The reliability of the instrument was 0.68 using Cronbach Alpha. Mean and Standard deviation were used to answer the research questions; t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The finding showed that Mathematics teachers consider supervision of instruction important in maintaining quality assurance in Mathematics teaching in secondary schools. Experienced and less experienced Mathematics teachers each agreed that supervision of instruction is important in ensuring quality assurance for effective teaching of Mathematics. It was recommended that both Ministry of Education and PPSMB should continue to maintain the temp of supervision in secondary schools and if possible increase its rate.
