This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the mathematics laboratory based teaching learning programme meant for understanding the Areas of Plane Figures of mathematics of standard-VIII. The pre-test post-test control group design was used for the study. The experimental group was treated with mathematics laboratory-based teaching learning programme and the controlled group was taught by conventional method. After teaching, the achievement test in mathematics was administered to measure their achievement in mathematics. The mathematical achievement was measured using t-test to test the effectiveness of the treatment. The findings of the research revealed that the achievement of the experimental group was higher than that of the conventional group. It can be ascertained that the laboratory-based teaching learning programme in content delivery of Areas of Plane Figures of mathematics for standard -VIII was more effective in developing mathematical concepts than the traditional method.
