At the very beginning of our exploration of this world, we start to mimic what we see, model what others like us do. It's our first learning experience. It's the most efficient and successful tool we have at our disposal. Learning mathematics is no exception. Then begins the "why" phase. This phase is just as important. In order to truly learn a child wants to know why it works. Through understanding of the deeper concept, a more substantial memory is formed. This helps us recall the key concepts much more effectively and quickly. This happens when the concepts makes sense and seem reasonable rather than random and confusing. The use of these key concepts is not solely to memorize temporarily but to increase our problem solving skills, relate the process of solving the problem to another problem, and use the same process logically. This process can include solving all kinds of problems, not just mathematics but across the board to other contents and daily situations that require troubleshooting and reason. Once the concepts can be utilized in a variety of ways, this opens the way for exploration of the concepts.

When the mind processes information this way, retention is inevitable
