Researchers? self-designed questionnaire was used to seek the opinion of the respondents on the subject matter. Demographic data collected data were analyzed through simple percentage while the two proposed hypothesis were analyzed by chi-square. Findings of the study revealed that, task analysis method teaching mathematical concepts to persons with visual impairment play a vital role. It was also found that, male students with visual impairment perform better than their female counterpart when taught mathematics through task analysis method. It was recommended among other things that mathematics teachers should embrace the use task analysis method to arouse the interest of students with visual impairment.
