This reminds me of G. Polya's book "How to Solve It" [0], there he talks about the process that teachers can go through to get students to think through problems. But more than that it's trying to build in a habit, so that you tackle problems in the same way each time and can train your brain pathways to hold more of the process in your head.

- vram22 8y agoThat's a very good book. I first read it while in college or high school, IIRC. Should buy a copy again, it's worth it. BTW, for others who might not know, it is not applicable just to math (although Polya was a mathematician). It's good for general problem solving. And there is a book that was inspired by it, called How to Solve it by Computer. I had and read that one too. It is very good too. See descriptions of both books below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It#Influence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It#Influence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_it_by_Computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_it_by_Computer
