Basic foundation rote maths reinforced with the 'Number Rhymes' memory system
These memory numbers can be practiced independently of maths by selecting it in the 'memory systems' page, however
the purpose of this rote practice option is that the answer is given as a normal number along with its number rhyme.
To recap, the idea is that a different catchy rhyme can be applied to numbers, along with a cultural or visual link, to aid memory.
The idea comes from the 'bingo calls' used in British bingo calls. However these suffer from a number of problems:
- They only go up to 90
- Often the rhymes are arbitrary, with no other link
- Sometimes they are based on a cultural or visual link, but there is no rhyme
As such we present a list of the numbers 0 to 99 that we think provide better memory hooks, using the rhyme method.
Note, in a small number of cases there were either no good rhymes or no good cultural or visual references, but we have kept
these to an absolute minimum, for example:
37 - "Body temperature" ( This is the body's normal temperature )
27 - "Duck and crutch" ( This is a standard bingo call. The idea is the 2 looks like a duck and the 7 a crutch.
