Make sure you know why you want to spiral. My first inclination is I need a method that will help the math “stick” in student’s brains. However. after listening to Michael I realized that it will provide support for those students who arrive in my class later on in the school year. I am reminded of a student last year who arrived in my class only 3 weeks before we went to online instruction. We were strongly encouraged by administration to focus on reviewing previously covered material ( hey, spiral!) but this particular student had never studied solving inequalities and she was lost!
