As assessment outcomes provide students with a sense of accomplishment that is boosted by the reward system, learning becomes more effective. This research aims to determine the effects of reward system prior to assessment in Mathematics. Quasi-experimental research design was used to examine whether there was a significant difference between the use of reward system and students’ level of performance in Mathematics. Through purposive sampling, the respondents of the study involve 80 Grade 9 students belonging to two sections from Gaudencio B. Lontok Memorial Integrated School. Based on similar demographics and pre-test results, control and study group were involved as participants of the study. Data were treated and analyzed accordingly using statistical treatments such as mean and t-test for independent variables. There was a significant finding revealing the advantage of using the reward system compare to the non-reward system in increasing students’ level of performance in Mathematics. It is concluded that the use of reward system is effective in improving the assessment outcomes in Mathematics. It is recommended to use reward system for persistent assessment outcomes prior to assessment, to be a reflection of the intended outcomes in Mathematics.
