Does your child forget number facts like times tables or historical dates?

The Peg System uses rhyming images (peg words) to “hang” information on. Abacus makes number‑image connections natural.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to remember any numbered list with ease.

🧩 What is the Peg System?

You memorize 10 rhyming “peg” words (one-bun, two-shoe, three-tree, etc.). Then you “hang” information you want to remember on each peg using vivid images. Abacus trains the visualisation.

🎯 How to Use the Peg System

Step 1: Memorise the 10 pegs (1‑10). Step 2: For each item in a numbered list, create a vivid image combining the peg image with the item. Step 3: To recall, go through the pegs and “see” the images. For abacus: Use pegs to remember number bonds or times tables. For school: Use for history dates, science facts, or vocabulary.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son learned the 10 pegs in one day. He used them to remember the first 10 elements of the periodic table. Now he creates his own pegs for everything.”

You might wonder, “Does this work for numbers beyond 10?” Yes — create pegs for 11‑20 (eleven is heaven? etc.) or use number shapes.
