📌 Abacus and the Peg System for Memorizing Number Facts
Link numbers to images for instant recall
Does your child forget number sequences or struggle to recall times tables?
The Peg System links numbers to rhyming images. Abacus children already visualise numbers — this takes it further.
Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to use pegs to remember any numbered list.

🧩 What is the Peg System?
A mnemonic where each number is paired with a rhyming image (1=bun, 2=shoe). You then associate what you want to remember with that image. Abacus visualisation makes the images vivid.
🎯 How to Use Pegs for Number Facts
Learn the pegs: 1‑bun, 2‑shoe, 3‑tree, 4‑door, 5‑hive, 6‑sticks, 7‑heaven, 8‑gate, 9‑vine, 10‑hen. For 3×4=12: Imagine a tree (3) next to a door (4) with a bun (1) and a shoe (2) nearby. For spelling lists: First word on bun, second on shoe, etc.
💡 A Parent’s Success
“My son couldn’t remember the order of planets. We used pegs: 1=bun (Mercury), 2=shoe (Venus). He visualises a bun on Mercury and a shoe on Venus. Now he recites them perfectly.”
You might wonder, “Do pegs work for older children?” Yes — the method is ageless.
