These June math activities are part of my 1st-5th Grade Spiral Review Math Collection. Spiral review activities are all about keeping what students learn fresh throughout the year. Imagine you introduce a new math concept. Instead of moving on and possibly forgetting it later, spiral learning means students keep practicing it regularly. This can look like morning work, homework, mini lessons, or centers.

This is just a quick post to share a couple of revision resources I've recently made.I'm delighted that the Easter holidays have arrived but I think I'll need to spend a bit of time over the break creating new revision resources to use this summer. My school opened seven years ago so this is the first time we'll have A level exams.

In general, educators recognize the value of student feedback: it can help us better understand the classroom experience, modify learning activities, or adjust our policies and practices to improve student outcomes. Unfortunately, the most common form of feedback that instructors receive, the mandatory end-of-semester evaluation, is primarily intended to assess faculty rather than the teaching and learning experience.
