The study employed a pre-test, posttest, control group quasi experimental design. the targeted population comprised 170 primary schools pupils. The sampled population consists of two private schools and  public schools. The instruments titled Instructional Guide for Rally Coach (IGRC), Instructional Guide for Conventional Method (IGCM) and Numeracy Performance Test (NPT) were used for data collection. The instruments were subjected to face and content validity by three lecturers from Early Childhood and Primary Education and Arts and Social Sciences. The reliability index of NPT was determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and it yielded (0.75). Four research hypotheses were formulated and tested in this study at 0.05 level of significance. Inferential statistics of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that there was a significant main effect of Rally Coach on pupils academic performance in numeracy (F (1; 96) = .010, P< 0.05). Those exposed to Rally Coach (19.287) performed significantly higher than those exposed to conventional method (19.273). Similarly, interaction of treatment and school type had no significant effect on pupils’ academic performance in numeracy in Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State.   Ultimately, treatment and gender had no significant effect on pupils’ academic performance and learning retention in numeracy in Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State. In conclusion, the effect of Rally Coach on effect of Academic performance in Numeracy was high, it was recommended that Numeracy teachers in particular should adopt this strategy in delivering knowledge to the pupils and Teachers should be exposed more to the internet for more exposure on Rally Coach.
