Long-term memory is important for learning Maths and Science as it is where you store the fundamental concepts and techniques that you need to use in problem solving. It takes time to move information from working memory to long-term memory and to help with this process, one can use a technique called spaced repetition/revision. This technique involves repeating what you are trying to retain but spacing this repetition out over a number of days. It is best to work at maths and science in small doses - a little every day. Diary of a Math Kid is a spaced revision programme where the students will be expected to do Maths revision every day, for 10-15 minutes. Apart from providing spaced repetition, this programme will additionally cultivate the practice of learning by actively doing mathematics, rather than revising, simply by reading over previous work. Or worse still, looking at a test and looking at a memo and thinking you are doing mathematics. Diary of a Math Kid is CAPS aligned and follows the CAPS sequencing as prescribed by the Department of Education. It will consist of 365 days of quick, interesting and challenging Maths problems. No test or examination questions will ever come as a surprise again as ALL the questions in the Diary are from past tests and examination papers. The diary is available for grades 6 – 12. If you would like further reading on the above approach, you will find it in the following book: a (MIND} for NUMBERS. How to excel at Math and Science.
