Without timely practice, lower ability groups tend to continue with many misconceptions and with learning new things, more misconceptions are developed which are harder to break down and fix. With timely practice misconceptions are identified through retrieval and interleaved practice which help maintain understanding whilst allowing myself to address these misconceptions and make progress in new areas of maths.
Alfie Sparkes found Timely practice:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“For example, GCSE resit, without timely practice, students attained a grade 3. With timely practice, students attained 5 grade 4's and 90% attained a grade higher.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“I have found that I am to give concrete and consistent feedback to any class who I have used timely practice with to help with retention and understanding long term.”
