👉 Retrieval math, also known as retrieval practice or active recall, is a learning technique that involves actively bringing information from long-term memory into conscious awareness through questioning or recall exercises. This method enhances memory retention and understanding by forcing the brain to retrieve information rather than passively reviewing it. It often involves generating answers from memory without looking at notes or textbooks, which strengthens neural connections and improves the ability to recall information later. Techniques like flashcards, practice quizzes, and self-testing are common in retrieval math, making it an effective strategy for deep learning and long-term retention.
