Classic Mnemonics
Some mnemonic tools based on the technique of letter strategy (using acronyms
and acrostics) are "oldies but goodies" that teachers recall from their own school
days. Here are a few that "every good boy" -- and girl -- should remember!
* ROY G. BIV: the colors in the spectrum of visible light in order: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet
* Every Good Boy Does Fine: the lines of the treble clef: E, G, B, D, and F
FACE = the spaces of the treble clef: F, A, C, and E
* HOMES: the five Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior
* Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally: the order of mathematical operations: parentheses,
exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction
* My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas: the nine planets in order:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
* King Philip Came Over For Good Soup (or Spaghetti): the taxonomic categories
in biology: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
* Never Eat Shredded Wheat: the points of a compass: north, east, south, and
west
"I have been teaching division for 23 years, and I don`t remember how I acquired
this technique, but I do know that I added to it," Reisner told Education World.
"Originally, I learned it without the C (Cousin) but added it in after realizing
that it was doable, and that so many students were forgetting to compare their remainder
with their divisor."
Today, fifth grade teachers recognize students who have come from Reisner`s room
because they write "DMSCB" at the top of their division papers. Reisner`s happy
that they find her memory tool helpful. "Whatever works!" she says.
"When I can think of one, I do use mnemonics in teaching," Reisner offered. "I
have also shared DMSCB with the third grade teachers, and they are using it as well.
I teach the gifted cluster, and often they think of their own memory tools too,
which is just great!"
In fact, one essential goal of teaching with such memory tools as "Does McDonald`s
Sell CheeseBurgers?" is exactly what Reisner has observed -- to enable students
to create and use their own tools, or "mnemonics," to improve recall.
Calendar Peg System
The Calendar Peg System is based on associating a peg word with each of the months
January to December. The peg words can then be associated to remember date information.
Below is a list of calendar pegs. They are partially chosen because they sound
similar, or because they are associated with festivities or activities during the
month.
January jacket you need a heavy jacket in January
February freeze a big chill
March march
April bunny the Easter bunny
May flowers
June dune a pleasant summer day in the dunes
July jungle a hot jungle in July
August BBQ barbeque out in the garden
September scepter scepter sounds like it
October doberman a big, black dog
November turkey turkey for Thanksgiving
December Santa Claus
Suppose you want to remember your friends’ birthday: September 2nd. If your friend’s
birthday were in September you could imagine your friend yielding a tall SCEPTER,
commanding a SWAN (2, see number-shape system above).
