Popis:	Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a particular form of distributed practice (John Saxon's incremental development) would be associated with significant achievement gains in seventh grade mathematics. Procedures. A quasi-experimental design utilizing a pretest-posttest format in which the experimental group was matched to a national norming sample was employed to examine achievement gains. The experimental group received one academic year of seventh grade mathematics instruction in which homework assignments employed Saxon's distributed practice format. Student achievement gains were measured with the mathematics portion of the Stanford Achievement Test. The results were subjected to t-tests and analysis of variance to determine significance. Results and conclusions. Small but significant gains were attained by students in the sample on the following portions of the Standford Achievement Test: Total Mathematics (p
