🧩 How the Major System Works
Each digit becomes a consonant sound. Vowels can be added freely to create words. The words then create vivid images. This system can memorise hundreds of digits.

🎯 Learning the Major System
Step 1: Memorise the digit‑sound mapping (use flashcards). Step 2: Practice converting 2‑digit numbers into words (14 = “tire” t‑r). Step 3: Create images for those words. Step 4: For longer numbers, chain images into a story. Practice: Start with phone numbers (10 digits becomes 5 images).
💡 A Parent’s Example
“My son needed to remember 314159 (pi). 31 = ‘mud’ (m‑d), 41 = ‘rat’ (r‑t), 59 = ‘lap’ (l‑p). He imagined a mud rat sitting on a lap. He remembers pi to 6 digits after 2 minutes of practice.”
You might wonder, “Is this too complex for children?” At age 9+, yes. Start with 2‑digit words.
