Hi teacher friend,

spiral review only works if it’s easy to maintain.

If it takes too much prep, too much explaining, or too much grading… it’s the first thing to get dropped.

Quick teacher tip

The most sustainable spiral review routines are:

• short (5–10 minutes)
• predictable
• self-checking

Same structure every day. Different math. No extra prep.

Try this free 10-minute spiral review

This free 6th grade mini escape room is designed exactly for that:

• 5 mixed spiral review problems (ratios & unit rates)
• students use the first digit of each answer to build a code
• the code self-checks their work
• minimal directions, maximum focus on math

👉 Free Download – Mission 1

Works as a bell ringer, warm-up, or quick review—digital or printable.

This free activity is Day 1 of a complete 5-day routine.
