Abstract: This study investigated the effects of prior knowledge of implications of Mathematics concepts to career types and gender on the students' achievement in Geometry. A total of 245 students from three intact classes of three different schools were selected through purposive sampling technique. These classes were taught the concept 'Geometry' using computer package but prior to the actual teaching the classes except the non-career oriented control group were informed of the envisaged career type to which knowledge got could be applied. The Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) was validated and used for data. Collection. Data collected was analyzed descriptively using the mean and standard deviation and inferentially using, the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result indicated that prior knowledge of career implications of 'Geometry' facilitated the achievement of the career coincided with the Objective derivable from the concept. Based on this, implications to Mathematics education were drawn and recommendations were made among is that Federal Government should introduce Career Education in secondary schools.
