Flash Cards - A memory technique

We have identified that question practice is important in order to achieve in mathematics, but what can you do to help remember those equations, processes or definitions that you keep forgetting?

Flash cards allow you repeatedly train your brain to recall this key information, and can be very effective if used correctly. The video below gives a tutorial on how to create and use these cards for yourself.

WARNING: Always make sure the information you put on your flash cards is correct! Use revision guides or resources to create accurate flash cards for your revision.

This can be effective for a wide range concepts in mathematics, with examples of concepts such as:

• Describing and applying transformations
• Remembering equations and formulae such as Pythagoras' Theorem
• Identifying and applying graph transformations
