Question # 53

Passage:

A district debated “spiral” math (frequent revisits) versus “mastery” blocks (longer on one topic). Classrooms piloting a hybrid reviewed older skills briefly at the start of each week and then ran deeper two-week units. Teachers reported fewer forgotten procedures and better transfer to novel problems on unit tests.

Which claim is best supported by the passage?

Options:

A.

Spiral review alone outperforms mastery blocks.

B.

A blended approach can reduce skill decay while supporting deeper application.

C.

Mastery units cause students to forget prior topics.

D.

Review time should be eliminated.
