Title: Flashcards for maths?
Post by: J_Rho on January 26, 2020, 07:29:43 am
Does anyone use flashcards for maths?
For formulas, or words etc?
I use flashcards for all my other subjects and am curious to whether it would work for math :)

I've never actually have used flashcards for maths as most of the formulas are already on the formula sheet (excluding somewhere you have to mash certain formulas together). I just do a heap of practise questions so I'm applying my knowledge as that tends to work better for me than memorising. You bound reference is also there to make sure you know all the vocab, so there isn't really a need to memorise it. As time goes on and if you do a few practise questions each day, it will become much easier to remember them and by the time of exams you should be good to go ;D

Maths is more of an application subject rather than a memorising subject, so I think it might be best not to use flashcards?
Flashcards < Practise Questions
