What is Mnemonics? “ It is a memory technique that allows you to condense information by using a rhyme or phrase to help you remember it”(Western Governors University).PEMDAS it’s a easy word to remember right but it actually stands for
● Parenthesis
● Exponents
● Multiplication
● Division
● Addition
● Subtraction
Unfortunately, however, when students generate their own strategies, instruction may proceed at a much slower rate and students' performances may be lower than when teachers supply the strategies (Scruggs & Mastropieri, 1992). This is because when there's different strategies it can confuse you more than if a teacher would teacher but in “The Memory Book” it says
“Unfortunately, the techniques fell into disuse for centuries” (The

For a lot of hunters, nothing starts the year off better than a freezer full of venison. In some cases, however, the "would-be" venison gets its revenge. An unidentified man, 72, from Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, had to be rushed to the local hospital by ambulance after a wounded deer attacked him. According to the Fond Du Lac Police Department, the man had been hunting with his family when he shot a doe using his crossbow. The trouble came when he went to retrieve his trophy.

“One thing is certain: The human brain has serious problems with calculations. Nothing in its evolution prepared it for the task of memorizing dozens of multiplication facts or for carrying out the multistep operations required for two-digit subtraction.” (Sousa, 2015, p. 35). It is amazing the things that our brain can do and how our brain adapt to perform these kind of calculations. As teachers, we need to take into account that our brain is not ready for calculations, but it can recognize patterns.

procedural fluency - Students will gain procedural fluency in the lesson through the teacher modeling and guided practice with math concepts. Students will use a variety of manipulatives to achieve a better understanding of how to represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction within 20. F. Explain how one instructional strategy in your lesson plan (e.g., collaborative learning, modeling, discovery learning) supports learning outcomes. One instructional strategy found throughout my lesson plan is modeling. As the teacher the thinking out loud while moving through the process of solving the problem students are not only hearing my thoughts, they also can mimic the process.

Like many people I tend to be visual and appreciate it when I can have a demonstration of what a technique is intended to look like when implemented. Many techniques are overlapped into different theories. I believe it is important to know the theories. However, it is also important to know how the techniques are implemented from the various

Students are taught how to memorize, like shown in the quote. It is also shown that little time is spent practicing this, and students must figure out how to do so on their own.

According to the article, these tricks that I learned throughout elementary school and middle school were not helping me truly learn the material. According to the article, these rules and tricks “can leave students with a collection of explicit, yet arbitrary, rules that do not link to reasoned judgment (Hersh 1997) but instead to learning without thought (Boaler 2008)” (Karp, Bush, & Dougherty, 2014). I fully agree with this statement because I believe that these rhymes and tricks that I learned made me much lazier when doing math. For example, instead of memorizing my times tables like my parents had to do during their math classes, I looked for easy ways and tricks to memorize my multiplication facts so that I would not have to study a times table.

The biological approach to the basis of memory is explained in terms of underlying biological factors such as the activity of the nervous system, genetic factors, biochemical and neurochemicals. In general terms memory is our ability to encode, store, retain and recall information and past experiences afterwards in the human brain. In biological terms, memory is the recreation of past experiences by simultaneous activation or firing of neurons. Some of the major biopsychological research questions on memory are what are the biological substrates of memory, where are memories stored in the brain, how are memories assessed during recall and what is the mechanism of forgetting. The two main reasons that gave rise to the interest in biological basis of memory are that researchers became aware of the fact that many memory deficits arise from injuries to the brain.

Introduction According to information processing model, short term memory has a limited capacity to hold information (Atkinson & Shriffin, 1968). The span of short term memory is said to be limited to about seven items (+2) (Miller, 1956 as cited in Terry, 2000). Short-term memory is also an active memory where we do our active memory processing (Lefrancois, 2000). For this reason, several researches have called the short term memory the working memory store (Gordon, 1989).

Nonetheless, students should identify which few methods enhance their memory and understanding best when learning, as different students have different learning needs. Likewise, students, who are usually required to recall learning materials, are recommended to view future new materials with strong enthusiasm and determination (Shuilleabhain, 2014), as it is an approach to motivate students. However, students should take care not to practice learning techniques they are not familiar with, especially when nearing the exams; as students who, Lan (cited in Bednall and Kehoe, 2011, pp. 205-226) believes, “engage in unfamiliar strategies may induce a high working memory load, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of their study efforts.” Also, both teachers and parents alike should take the practical and relevant steps in ensuring that their students/children are well schooled in the manner of implementing effective learning techniques in their academic life.
