Does your child struggle to remember number facts or steps in a sequence?

The Peg System uses rhyming words as “pegs” to hang information. Abacus complements it beautifully.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to use rhymes to memorize anything.

🧩 What is the Peg System?

It’s a mnemonic that pairs numbers with rhyming images (number‑rhyme peg). Once learned, these pegs become a permanent mental filing system. Abacus visualization makes the images more vivid.

🎯 How to Use the Peg System

Step 1: Memorize the 10 pegs (1‑10). Step 2: For a list of items, associate each with the peg image in a crazy, vivid scene. Step 3: To recall, go through the pegs. For abacus: “8+2=10” — imagine a gate (8) wearing a shoe (2) walking into a hen house (10). For times tables: “6×7=42” — sticks (6) hanging from heaven (7) stuck in a door (4) with a shoe (2). The weirder, the better.

💡 A Parent’s Success

“My son used the peg system to memorize his times tables in one week. He visualises a tree (3) with a shoe (2) = 6 (sticks). Now multiplication is easy.”

You might wonder, “Does this replace abacus?” No — it’s a supplement. Abacus builds number sense; pegs build recall for facts.
