What is a mnemonic device?
Asked by Wiki User
A mnemonic is a memory aid. Mnemonics use short familiar ideas (like a silly sentence, a song, or a set of short words) to help you remember longer ideas and terms. Stop, Drop, and Roll (instructions for what to do during a fire) is an example.

What do mnemonic device do?
Asked by Wiki User
The purpose is to aid in memory . A rhyme, song, or acrostic allow a person to recall needed information. For example, when someone wishes to know how many days there are in June, he or she can recite the following: "Thirty days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except for February, which stands alone."
What are the order of operations mnemonic?
Asked by Wiki User
BODMAS = Brackets, Of, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BODMAS = Brackets, Order, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BODMAS = Brackets, Other, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BIDMAS = Brackets, Index, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
I have bracketed Add and Subtract as when they are found together, they are done in the order they are found: from left to right.
eg 1 + 2 - 3 is (1 + 2) - 3 and NOT 1 + (2 - 3) as the mnemonic would suggest.
With Divide and Multiply, they can be done either left to right, or by doing the divide first, and the correct answer will be found, eg:
2 x 6 ÷ 3 = (2 x 6) ÷ 3 = 2 x (6 ÷ 3)
Note:
6 ÷ 3 x 2 = (6 ÷ 3) x 2 ≠ 6 ÷ (3 x 2)
But the last possibility would not be attempted as 'left to right' and 'divide first' are the same calculation (doing the division); showing that following strict 'DM' of BODMAS always works.
My own creation: to get the sum correct, you will be under the watchful eye of the Bod Tsar:
BODTSAR = Brackets, Of/Order/Other, Divide, Times, Subtract, Add (in order to get the) Result.
Which fixes the slight imperfection that the B*DMAS don't show that the pairs of operations Divide & Multiply, and Subtract & Add have the same priority and are done in left to right order. However, if you always Divide before Multiplying (Timesing) and Subtract before Adding in those pairs, you will get the correct result, hence my mnemonic
How do mnemonic devices help memory?

What is the mnemonic for remembering the seasons in order?
Asked by Wiki User
In order to remember the order of the seasons it is best to understand why we have seasons and when they occur.
Spring Equinox 21st March:
Summer Solstice 21st June
Autumn Equinox 21-23rd September
Winter Solstice 21st December
Therefore the best mnemonics practice would be to associate a season to what occurs in nature and the cycle of renewal.
Spring - Birth: Renewal of plants
Summer - Life: Plants are fully bloomed (photosynthesis)
Autumn - Decay: Leaves start to decay
Winter - Death: Less sun means no leaves
If you are teaching children a good way is to also use the clock face as a metaphor using their arms.
Spring - 9PM
Summer - 12PM
Autumn - 3PM
Winter - 6PM

How are the loci and peg mnemonic devices alike?
Asked by Wiki User
They are ways to link new information to familiar locations so you can remember them. Both rely on making vivid mental images.
Loci or Journey Method: take a mental walk through a familiar place and "put" the items to remember in spots along the way. For example, you could remember that you needed to buy milk, bread, and eggs by "putting" milk in your mailbox, bread on your walkway, and eggs on your front door.
Peg Method: several different rhymes that help you remember a "peg" that you "put" the remembered item on -- see the link below.
One example of a peg system is to remember 10 items on a list. You first memorize a rhyme for the numbers: 1 is a bun, 2 is a shoe, 3 is a tree, 4 is a door, 5 is a hive, 6 is a stick, 7 is in heaven, 8 is a gate, 9 is a vine, and 10 is a hen. Then you make a vivid mental image of each item in the proper number. For example, if you want to buy milk, bread, and eggs with this system, you remember a carton of milk between the two halves of a bun, a loaf of bread inside of a shoe, and eggs hanging from a tree.
