You have a random list of numbers. You have to memorize them, in order. What do you do?
Just like all other memory techniques, there are many approaches you can take.
1) split up the numbers into "chunks." groups of three, groups of four, groups of five, etc. 2) pick a tune, and sing the numbers along to that tune (at the competition, do this in your head, of course!) 3) imagine you have a calculator in front of you. tap the numbers on the invisible calculator in the order in which they appear. 4) assign sounds or words to each number, and then create a "word" or story from those sounds/words 5) make drawings out of your numbers (a 2 turns into a swan, an 8 turns into a snowman, etc.) and then create a story out of those pictures.
Do you have a question about these techniques? Or, do you have any suggestions? Let us know!
