The Big Book of Memory Tricks — PDF

“I learned it yesterday… and it’s gone.” Times tables, tricky spellings, the order of the planets: your child works hard, and the next morning half of it has vanished.

The problem isn’t your child. It’s rereading. What sticks is a funny sentence, a picture or a gesture — and that is exactly what this book is made of.

A few tricks from the book

• The 9 times table on your fingers: lower the third finger for 9 × 3 — two fingers on the left, seven on the right: 27.
• The planets: “My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming” — each first letter gives you a planet, in order.
• was or were? “One was, the rest were” — and you is always were.
• < and >: the crocodile always opens its mouth towards the bigger number.
