Why a 15 minute homework timer works
- Ends the negotiation about starting
- Good for younger students
- One subject per countdown
The argument about starting costs more than the homework does. A visible countdown ends the negotiation, which is most of the battle with younger students.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |

| 0-1 | Open the book to the right page first |
| 1-13 | One subject, questions in order |

Questions people ask
How many 15 minute homework blocks should a child do?
A common guide is ten minutes per school year per night. Two or three fifteen minute blocks with a proper break between them suits most secondary students.
How many blocks make a study session?
Four to six with five minute breaks is a full evening for most students, and holds attention better than two long sittings.
How often should I use the 15 minute homework timer?
Daily beats long. Three short sessions spread across the week produce better recall than one session of the same total length, because the gaps force your memory to retrieve rather than recognise.
