The paper determined the role of the Partial Product Method on achievement and interest among Primary School Pupils in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was a quasi-experimental specifically non-equivalent control group. The sample for the study was 160 primary four (4) pupils from four intact classes which were randomly selected from four (4) schools out of 18 public primary schools in the Local Government Area. Two instruments were used for the data collection Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Multiplication and Interest Inventor (MII). Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the research questions, while ANCOVA was used in testing the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. Results are in support of the Partial Product Method as an effective method that enhances the pupils? achievement and interest in the multiplication of numbers. It was recommended among others that teachers should use the Partial Product Method in the teaching of multiplication of numbers
