    ABSTRACT The research study concentrated on teacher motivation and girls performance in Mathematics in primary schools in Maefe Sub County Manafwa District and it was guided by three specific objectives: To investigate the effect of teacher motivation on girl‟s performance in Mathematics in primary schools in Maefe sub county, Manafwa District, to examine challenges affecting teacher motivation and girl‟s performance in Mathematics in primary schools in Maefe sub county, Manafwa district and lastly to assess interventions for enhancing teacher motivation and girl‟s performance in Mathematics in primary schools in Maefe Sub county, Manafwa district. The study used a descriptive research design which was both qualitative and quantitative and considered a sample size of 80 respondents. Study findings concluded that: lack of teacher motivation affects understanding of subject matter by girl students, the study also concluded that lack of teacher motivation contributes to inefficiency of the educational system and lower subject score in Mathematics by girls, that Poor work environments that are not favourable affect teacher motivation, that rewarding teachers can work as a measure to improve girl‟s performance in mathematics, that improving teacher remuneration can help in improving girls performance in mathematics. The study recommends that: There should be more investments by different Governments in a number of strategies to improve teacher motivation such that student‟s performance can be improved upon and lastly that there is need for teachers to go for further studies such that they can understand how to ethically handle different children that they teach.
