In a few days I will be going on a vacation with family -- enjoying time with my children and grandchildren. As I think back to past times together, I remember querying my grandkids about their math interests and suggesting the invention of a mathy rhyme. I find rhyming statements easier to remember than non-rhyming ones -- and my grandchildren enjoyed discovering and inventing and repeating rhymes -- sometimes brilliant and sometimes silly.
One of my longest-known and all-time favorite mathy rhymes is this one that tells the days of the month; below is a version of this memory-aid, found online here at Math is Fun.
RHYMES that help us REMEMBER.
