We take the same approach as Zen. If you think you know something try teaching it to someone else. My ds is required to keep an extensive note book in math class. Showing your work has become the easy work. My ds has done a lot of competition math this year. It seems odd but he almost always reaches for blank paper now. It is more to double check his answers.

Its not easy but it does get better.
