Interleaving - I'm Really Good as That.

Annie, i've got good at spacein otwordin notkhing about day dreaving and the importante of h day dreaming. But i would just add one more technique. And this other thing i's gong to mention is interleaving into the main stream. We've known about these things for decades and they've kind of never caught on. So maybe that'll be the thing that brings space repetition and retrievale practice.

about day dreaving and the importante of h day dreaming. But i would just add one more technique. And it's funny, i didn't bring these up at first, because i feel like people hear these and the lig yd like another study tip. But these things really work. I feel like if maybe teachers incorporated them more into the way tteach, in the way that tey review for help their students review for exampe or, you know, they're being incorporated into technological tools. So maybe that'll be the thing that brings space repetition and retrievale practice. And this other thing i's gong to mention interleaving into the main stream, even though, you know, as i say, we've known about these things for decades and they've kind of never caught on. But interleaving intee, interleaving is, you know, usually when a kid is completing a home work assignment, they'll get blocks of, say, math problems, like, here's your edition problems, heres your subtraction problems, heres your multiplication problems. And then the student knows exactly which solution strategy they're going to be using even before they start on the problems. But of course, that's not how problems come to us in the real world or on tests. Usually the hardest part about the problem is figuring out what solution strategy to apply. So it's much more effective to mix up those types of questions, not have them in blocks, so that with each question you have to figure out, ok, what kind of problem is this, and what do i need to do to solve it? So that some thing that teachers, or even parents or students themselves could implement pretty easily.
