  1. MnemonicsApplied TowardHang ups in Math

  2. Research process • Google search: “strategies to teach math”

  3. Research The Access Center. (2006). Using mnemonic instruction to teach math. Retrieved from http://www.ldonline.org/article/Using_Mnemonic_Instruction_To_Teach_Math

  4. Support • Council for Exceptional Children The Division for Learning Disabilities (DLD) The Division for Research (DR)

  5. Mnemonics • = set of strategies improvement in memory 4 new information • Link new to old through visual/acoustic cues • Wide range of abilities (gifted  LD) • All grade levels

  6. Types • Keyword = word that sounds familiar to word/concept being taught; used with illustration e.g. carline • Pegword = set of rhyming words used to represent numbers e.g. one = bun

  7. Types contd. 3. Letter= acronyms & acrostics e.g. HOMES; Every Good Boy Does Fine

  8. Teacher • Create mnemonic • Explicit instruction: “Here is a good way to remember this.” • Go through the steps using the mnemonic to demo its use in retrieval • Practice w/students  independence

  9. Math applications • Keyword: Visuals for the 2 family: • 2x2 skateboard w/2 sets of wheels • 3x2 six pack of soda • 4x2 spider w/2 sets of 4 legs • 5x2 two hands w/ all fingers held up • 6x2 dozen eggs in a carton

  10. Math applications • Pegword: • Use the Pegword flashcard (has corresponding visual) e.g. 6 = sticks • Teach students how to use the p-strategy • Have students say p-strategy for each math fact • E.g. Sticks (6) and Sticks (6) = Dirty Sticks (36)

  11. MATH applications • Letter: Search the word problem Translate the words into an equation in picture form Answer the problem Review the solution
