Does recalling knowledge help it remain accessible later?
Often, yes. A large research base finds that retrieving learned material can strengthen later retention, with benefits also observed in applied classroom studies.[1]
كيف يستخدم Toku هذا المبدأ
A Toku sprint asks your child to produce answers from memory repeatedly instead of only recognising a method on the page.
ما الذي تظهره الأبحاث
Experimental work has shown better delayed retention after retrieval practice than after additional study in comparable conditions.[1]
Meta-analytic and classroom evidence supports practice testing and retrieval across a wide range of learning settings.[3][4]
Feedback can increase the value of retrieval by giving the learner a route to correct an unsuccessful attempt.[2]

Successful retrieval, followed by correction when needed, can make practised knowledge easier to access again later.
The score shows how the attempt went, while the learning value comes from your child pulling the mathematics back out of memory again and again.
