  2. Mnemonics • Mnemonics can assist students with remember information. • The use allows the students to remember information, often in the form of lists, by picking-out a recognizable piece of the word or word group to be remembered (this is often the first letter of each item in a list).

  3. Teachers can use them in almost any subject area. • Formulas, Lists, mathematical equations, writing process rules, etc. • Common Examples: • ROY G. BIV (Colors of the rainbow) • PEMDAS/ “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sallie” (Order of operations) • “Never Eat Soggy Waffles” /NESW (Directions of the compass rose) • And on, and on…The possibilities are endless!

  5. Have Fun, It’s Beneficial • Teachers and other professionals can greatly benefit from creating mnemonic devices for the learners in their environments. • This will allow learners to blossom as they will have a clever or recognizable way to remember valuable information needed for later recall.

  6. Odd-One-Out • This instructional strategy assists in the students learning of how to identify an object, word, or group of words that does not belong amongst others. • This strategy is not limited to objects, words, or word groups; it can be used very effectively in mathematics, sciences, art, etc.

  7. Example: • “Please find the word that does not fit in with the others words. Remember, we are looking for nouns here, find the word that is not a noun.” Rock House Shoe Ear Kick “Yes, Timmy? You think “kick” is the odd-one-out? Why? You are correct Timmy, “kick” is a verb and not a noun. Nice job buddy!” • Seems easy enough, right? (Here is another example) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=E21z0xWWvvE

  8. Pyramid Learning • Pyramid learning allows for the students to see a visual representation, pyramidal in shape, that arranges the concepts needing to be learned from the top (containing a specific concept) to the bottom (containing all facts or skills). • This can also be reversed to assist in students being able to see all concepts needing to be learned and then narrowing down their focus to one or two specifics within the “big picture”.
