Gain Context

Gain context to see not just how, but also when to use this chunk!

How to start with a new topic?

  1. Do a 2min. picture walk through a chapter (glancing at pictures & section headings allows you to gain a sense of the big picture to see where it fits in)
  2. Begin studying it:Learn the major concepts first, then fill in the details
  3. Go beyond the initial problem, see more broadly. Repeat & practice with both related & unrelated problems
  • to see not only when to use the chunk, but when not,
  • to build & strengthen each chunk, so you can easily access it whenever you need to
