Most teachers in India repeat one topic again and again, hoping students will remember. But research proves the opposite. Interleaving—mixing different types of problems—leads to stronger memory and problem-solving.
Rohrer & Taylor (2007) showed students using interleaving remembered far better days later, while those taught in blocks quickly forgot. Later classroom trials with mixed-ability groups found interleaving boosted scores by 20–50%. A 2019 meta-analysis confirmed it improves long-term retention across maths, science, and languages.
Instead of grouping ten fraction problems, mix fractions, geometry, and word problems. It may feel harder at first, but learning sticks.
If you’re a teacher who wants your students not just to pass exams but to truly remember, this strategy works.
