Q. Why are MLFLE lessons so short with so few problems?

A. Math Lessons for a Living Education uses 5-10 focused problems per lesson instead of 30-50 repetitive problems. This approach is optimal because working memory can only hold 3-5 pieces of information at once. When students do 50 problems, they shift from thinking to pattern-matching 

As explained in the Teaching Companion, our focused GENTLE Approach™ keeps students in active problem-solving mode.
