This paper looked at the use of Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) for solving and understanding the dynamic of the disease in a wholly susceptible population. The saturated incidence rate is introduced to the 'existing' mathematical model of the problem, and this result in a usual non-linear ODE. The mathematics of the model shows in the detail of the process of the spread of the disease and the transmission pathways. In the absence of vaccination or any form of treatment, the disease takes over the population in the course of time. The computation is carried out and graphical results showing healthy class and infected class are presented and discussed.

A pre-test, post-test, control quasiexperimental design was employed for the study. The study comprises a sample size of hundred (100) respondents from two randomly selected senior secondary schools (SS1) in the Ijebu-Ode Local government area of Ogun State, Nigeria. The instruments for data collection were Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Mathematics Interest Scale (MIS). Six hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The findings revealed that there is a significant main effect of Mathematics game strategy on the academic achievement and interest of senior secondary school students. Also, it was shown that there is no significant interaction effect of treatment and gender on the achievement and interest of senior secondary school students in Mathematics. The findings further reveal no significant main effect of gender on both academic achievement and interest of senior secondary school offering Mathematics. It was recommended that senior secondary school teachers should inculcate the use of Mathematics game strategy in the teaching and learning process of Mathematics.
