How to Use the Flashcards
Study Modes
- Full Info: See letter name, pronunciation, and detailed usage on the back
- Name Only: Test yourself - see only the letter name on the back
- Usage Only: Focus on practical applications in math and science
Study Tips
- Start Sequential: Go through cards in order first to build familiarity
- Then Shuffle: Use shuffle mode to test recall in random order
- Auto Play: Let cards advance automatically for passive review
- Focus on Difficult Ones: Spend extra time on letters you don't recognize immediately
- Daily Practice: Review for 5-10 minutes daily for best retention
Memory Techniques
- Visual Association: Connect letter shapes to familiar objects
- Usage Context: Remember letters by their most common uses (π for pi, σ for sigma/sum)
- Pronunciation: Say the letter name out loud when you flip the card
- Writing Practice: Draw the symbol on paper as you study
- Grouping: Learn similar letters together (α, β, γ, δ as the first four)
