2) Retention ○ Mixed & spaced practice - homework, quizzes (low stakes & frequent, testing effect), fast fours ○ All topics are fair game - students knew that topics would return ○ Limited exam review - retention was amazing
3) Problem solving ○ Time permitted the opportunity to try different strategies. ○ Various tools - peers, toolkit booklets
4) Perseverance ○ Topics don’t go away - Growth Mindset ○ Opportunities to try different strategies on PS days ○ Making mistakes is ok, even great if you learn from them!!
