Does your child need to remember long numbers like phone numbers, PINs, or digits of pi?

The Major System converts numbers into consonant sounds, then into words. Abacus trains the mental linking for this advanced technique.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to memorise 20-digit numbers.

🧩 What is the Major System?

Developed by memory champions, this system assigns consonant sounds to digits. You then create words from these sounds. The words are easier to remember than digits.

🎯 How to Use the Major System

Step 1: Learn the digit-sound mapping (10 pairs). Step 2: Break long numbers into 2-3 digit chunks. Step 3: Turn each chunk into a word. Step 4: Link words into a vivid story. Step 5: Practice with phone numbers. Abacus visualisation makes the story images strong.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son had to remember 501928 for a test. He turned it into ‘lady’ (50) + ‘tiny’ (19) + ‘knife’ (28). He imagined a lady holding a tiny knife. He never forgot it.”

You might wonder, “Is this too advanced for young kids?” Start with 4-digit numbers and simple words. Older kids love the challenge.
