Abstract	The participants in this study were high school Hispanic students from four geometry classes. All students were taught by the same teacher, and the duration of the experiment was for one term or six weeks. Two classes were placed in the control group and another two classes in the experimental group. In the control group, students took weekly quizzes every Friday, and in the experimental group, students took daily short quizzes during the last 10 minutes of the class. The investigator examined whether the daily quizzes had a significant impact on student mathematics achievement as measured by the final exam. The researcher also examined whether daily quizzing had any effect on students' homework grades. The study found that daily quizzing significantly improved student mathematics scores and homework grades. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.) (As Provided).
