Spiral review - How do you do it?

With our new math TEKS, we are strapped for time. So what are you doing to squeeze in review/re-teach time for concepts students didn't master? Here are a few ideasI've gleaned from GISD teachers:

1. Carefully choose your topics for whole-class re-teach. If only a few students bombed it, save it for tutorials/intervention.

2. Greet students at the door with a math question. Check out what Mr. Yancey at GHS has done to his door! (see photo below)



3. Group students using review problems. For example, check out these grouping cards. They create 7 groups of 4 students based on equivalent values (fractions, decimals, percents) 

4. Use homework as a review opportunity. Include a re-teach by assigning a short video for students to watch. You can hold them accountable by embedding the video in a short Google form (see announcement from 10-19 for more details on how to do this).

5. Add a couple of questions to your next assessment that re-test previous material.

Add your ideas to the list! :)
