How do you spiral the content in mathematics classes? What are the possible obstacles you might experience when you are spiraling the content?

Solution

Everyday Mathematics spirals because spiraling works. When implemented as intended, Everyday Mathematics spiral is effective: Everyday Mathematics students outscore comparable non-Everyday Mathematics students on assessments of long-term learning, such as end-of-year standardized tests. Spiraling leads to better long-term mastery of facts, skills, and concepts.

Spiraling is effective with all learners, including struggling learners. Learning difficulties can be identified when skills and concepts are encountered in the early phases of the spiral and interventions can be implemented when those skills and concepts are encountered again later in the spiral.
