Mathematics is not about retention of content.

It is about wrapping one's mind and spirit around concepts that are intimidating...and finding affection and enthusiasm for that subject.

“Mathematics is not about retention of content.”

I guess you’ve never heard of Saxon, Kumon and DISTAR? Mastering the multiplication tables? You’re not going to know what 8x7 is just by watching a video about multiplication or doing a couple of random problems before going on to the next topic.
