Abstract
The article presents a teacher's investigation on the attitude of the learner towards the repetition of lessons. It notes that repetition is firmly embedded in the student's textbook. The author observed that some students show boredom when they asked questions related to what they have done before. It stated that the purpose of repetition is to reinforce the message that mathematics is about memory, in which remembering things are important in tests.
