Reply To: Lesson 6-2: Question

I love this and definitely want to use it. It’s something I’ve used without actually realising but I’m glad to have back up for not following a textbook!

My only issue is timing, I find it hard to plan ahead enough to fit everything we need to cover into my term or year. I have groups right now that are all at different stages of this spiral idea (year 2s NZ) but feel that this means that my kids who are back at the beginning of the spiral will never reach where they need to be at the end of the year. There are obviously other things involved but, for me, I don’t want them to miss out but I also feel pushing them on would be building on sand without full understanding of beginning concepts.
