Does your child need to memorise long numbers like pi, dates, or codes?

The Major System converts numbers into consonant sounds, then into words. Abacus number bonds make the number‑sound mapping easier.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to remember any number sequence.

🧩 How the Major System Works

Each digit is assigned a consonant sound. You add vowels to form words. Words are easier to remember than digits. Then you chain or peg the words.

🎯 Learning the Code

0 = s/z (zero → “s”). 1 = t/d (one → looks like a ‘t’). 2 = n (two has ‘n’). 3 = m (three has ‘m’). 4 = r (four ends with ‘r’). 5 = l (five has ‘l’). 6 = sh/ch/j (six has ‘sh’ sound). 7 = k/g (seven has ‘k’ sound). 8 = f/v (eight has ‘f’ sound). 9 = p/b (nine has ‘p’ sound). Practice converting 2‑digit numbers into words (15 = t+l = “tall”, 32 = m+n = “man”).

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son learned the first 10 digits of pi (3.1415926535). 3=m,1=t,4=r,1=t,5=l,9=p,2=n,6=j,5=l,3=m → ‘mater talp njlm’ → ‘Meteor Tail Punch Nail…’ He turned a string of digits into a silly story.”

You might wonder, “Is this too complex for young children?” Start with 2‑digit numbers. Master those, then longer sequences.
