Is it true that spaced repetition improves learning and retention of mathematics?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources and a reference overview indicate that spaced repetition improves long-term retention and learning across domains, with one overview naming mathematics among relevant domains. None of the placed items reports mathematics-specific outcome data, so the evidence supports only a general, weaker version of the claim.
