How to Drill for Math Questions
- REDO, REDO, REDO: Keep redoing wrong questions until the student can almost memorise the answers. Then use ChatGPT to generate more similar practice questions.
- Use Paper to Cover Answers: Cover the answers with a sheet of paper and practice again without looking.
- Start from the Right Sentence: If stuck, start drawing models or tables based on keywords like equal, more than, fewer than, twice, thrice, etc.
