When we teach math we are helping our students establish a framework for interpreting the world. One of the worst ways I know to help them establish that framework is to print an illustration of a real-world scene in a textbook, write in only the relevant measurements, and tell the students in the text of the problem which formula or strategy to apply. This leaves a student helpless and unprepared (in the mathematical, analytical sense) should she ever encounter the world that exists outside the pages of her textbook. So we instead bring digital media from the world into the classroom, simulations of the world as students experience it, artifacts which students can discuss and to which they can apply frameworks of their choice. In order to leave students capable and prepared for their encounters with the world, this media must be captured and presented very intentionally.

Welcome to the Mnemonicizer, the Mnemonic Device Device. A mnemonic device is a sentence that helps us to memorize a string of words. For example, music students use "Every Good Boy Does Fine" to remember the order of notes on the treble clef. (E, G, B, D, F). Math students use "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" to remember the order of arithmetic operations (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract.). But the range of usefulness extends beyond music and math. They are an invaluable resource whenever you are trying to remember something.

Shared by one of my grad students. Cool site to help students develop mnemonic devices.

"For Vi Hart, her mind pondered the mathematical implications. "There's a packing puzzle here," she said. "This is the kind of thing where if you're accustomed to thinking about these problems, you see them in everything." Mathematicians over the centuries have thought long and deep about how tightly things, like piles of oranges, can be packed within a given amount of space. "Here we've got even another layer," Ms. Hart said, "where you're allowed to overhang off the edge of your square. So now you have a new puzzle, where maybe you want the big things near the edge because you can fit more of them off the edge before they fall off." Ms. Hart - her given name is Victoria, but she has long since dropped the last six letters - has an audacious career ambition: She wants to make math cool. "
