Does your child forget number facts like 7×8 despite repeated practice?

The Pegword Method rhymes numbers with words (one = bun, two = shoe). Abacus visualisation makes these images stick.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn a fun way to memorise number facts forever.

🧩 What is the Pegword Method?

It’s a mnemonic that creates visual “pegs” for numbers using rhyming words. Each peg can “hang” an image representing the information you want to remember.

🎯 Applying Pegwords to Times Tables

Learn the pegs: 1=bun, 2=shoe, 3=tree, 4=door, 5=hive, 6=sticks, 7=heaven, 8=gate, 9=line, 10=hen. For 7×8: 7=heaven, 8=gate → imagine a gate at heaven’s entrance. Picture 56 (fifty‑six = five‑sticks). For 4×7: 4=door, 7=heaven → a heavenly door. The image makes the fact unforgettable.

💡 A Parent’s Success

“My son couldn’t remember 6×7. We used pegs: 6=sticks, 7=heaven → picture sticks leaning against heaven’s gate. 42 (four‑two = door‑shoe). He never forgot again.”

You might wonder, “Does this work for addition facts?” Yes — peg any number fact to an image.
