Build a 20-Minute Maths Study Routine
Twenty minutes on most days beats two hours once a week. A routine works because it stops you deciding whether to start.
In short
Same time, same place
Deciding when to study uses up the attention you wanted for studying.
Two minutes of quick recall
Times tables, number bonds, a formula. Warm the maths up before the hard part.
Twelve minutes on one topic
One topic, not four. Depth is what makes it stay.
Four minutes marking
Mark it yourself, while the method is still fresh.
Two minutes writing what is next
One line: what you got wrong, and what you will do tomorrow.
Phone in another room
Twenty focused minutes is the whole point of the twenty minutes.
