for the ones who want a game instead of a chore
Goal
Turn the week's review into a 3x3 bingo grid so spaced recall feels like a game, not homework.
Source principle
Spaced repetition paired with retrieval: spreading recall across the week on a small grid of core concepts beats a Sunday cram and keeps the bar low enough to actually do. : from Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger & McDaniel.
The plan
- ๐MonWrite a 3x3 bingo grid. One core concept per cell. 9 total.
- โ๏ธTueRecall one cell from memory. Mark it if you nailed it.
- ๐WedRecall two cells. Don't pick the easy ones.
- โ๏ธThuRecall two more. Aim for a line.
- ๐ฒFriRecall two more. Aim for a column.
- ๐SatRecall the last two. Aim for the full grid.
- ๐SunCount marked cells. Score /9. Track the trend.
- ๐SunRe-study ONLY the unmarked cells. They get next week's grid.
