Practice math
Math is as much about holding numbers in your head as about solving them. The picture steps below keep track of where you are, so attention can let go of everything else and rest in one problem.

About this visual support
The hard part of math homework is rarely the math itself. It is holding several numbers in your head at once, switching between plus and minus without losing the thread, and tolerating the feeling of being wrong without throwing the pencil. That is working memory and grit, and both run out faster than we expect.
This is exactly where visual support takes some weight off. When each sub-task has its own card, the brain no longer has to remember how far you have come, whether you already did that sum, or how many are left. The cards become the outside memory, and the inside is free for actual calculation.
One idea: lay out three cards at a time, not the whole session. When those three are done, take a short pause and bring out the next three. That makes the end visible and builds tiny wins into the homework. In the Routined app, you can slot a short rest picture between blocks, so the pause becomes as clear as the tasks themselves.
