Last week I gave you a challenge.  What did you come up with as a memory tip for the math definition of “vertical”?  Here’s my idea.  Write the word starting at the bottom and go up vertically.  By doing the exercise, kids will remember that vertical mean “an upright position.”

What do you think?  Memory tips are fun to do and make a difference.  To remember the meaning of “horizontal”, just write it across the page with the letters spread out.

Let me know how your kids are responding!

How many kids struggle with the definition for “parallel”? Let’s make it easy for them. There are three parallel lines in the word!  Wow!  Just color them a bright color and exaggerate their size.  Whenever you exaggerate something and make it visual, the brain will remember because it is out of the norm!

Isn’t this fun?  Try the word “vertical”.  See if you can figure out a memory tip to remember that “vertical” means “an upright position.”

When I was teaching third grade, I noticed children missing a word problem because they couldn’t remember if the word “sum” was an adding word or subtracting word. I could tell them a million times but nothing helped until I made up this  little rhyme, they could easily remember!

“Sum” apples are green
“Sum” apples are red
“Sum” is the answer
When you add in your head!
