Does your child struggle to recall facts during exams even after studying?

The Method of Loci (memory journey) places information along a familiar path. Abacus trains the mental imagery needed.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to turn a walk around the house into a study session.

🧩 What is the Method of Loci?

Ancient Greek and Roman orators used this technique to memorise speeches. They placed key points along familiar architectural paths. Your child can do the same for exam revision.

🎯 How to Use for Exam Revision

Step 1: Choose a familiar route (your home: entrance → hall → kitchen → bedroom). Step 2: Identify 5‑10 specific spots (doorknob, sofa, fridge, bed, window). Step 3: Convert key facts into vivid images. Step 4: Place one image at each spot. Step 5: Walk the route mentally before the exam. For abacus: store complement pairs along the route.

💡 A Parent’s Activity

“My son used loci for his history dates. He placed ‘1492’ as a ship on the sofa, ‘1776’ as a flag on the fridge. He walked his house during the test and aced it.”

You might wonder, “Does this take too much time?” Initial setup takes 15 minutes. Recall is instant.
