Remember Remember!!!

[Margaret Pilkington]

When I was doing my Nurse Training we used lots of these things to help us remember......
Characteristics of a living cell = Now I Must Go Right Round England......
N= Nutrition
I= Irritability
G= Growth
R=Respiration
R=Reproduction
E= Expiration.
Signs and symptoms of a Fracture........Pay LSD if U Can
P= pain
L= lengthening
S=shortening/swelling
D=deformity
U=uneveness
C=crepitus
There were others as well, but they escape me now.

Trouble is remembering all this stuff is remembering it twice because not only do you have to learn the saying, but you have to learn what it means. I always got unstuck with this sort of thing.

When doing my apprenticeship in electronics we were taught to remember the resistor code by the rhyme
bad boys rape our young girls but virgins go without-or from the start of each word:

Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White.

9 Times Tables

Hold both hands out in front, fingers spread
When trying to do 9 times tables
Ie, 5x9
When looking at your hands, start counting from the right(little finger) and on number 5, put the finger/thumb down

Look at the remaining fingers/thumbs
You have 4 on your right hand and 5 on your left hand, the answer is 45

Give it a whirl!
Only works for 9's tho

The easiest way I taught 9x tables to my kids is.....

-9
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90

The numbers go up in the first column and down in the other.
