Acronyms
Forming an acronym is a good strategy to use to remember information in any order. An acronym is a word that is formed from the first letter of each fact to be remembered. It can be a real word or a nonsense word you are able to pronounce.
Here is how to form an acronym.
- Write the facts you need to remember.
- Underline the first letter of each fact. If there is more than one word in a fact, underline the first letter of only the first word in the fact.
- Arrange the underlined letters to form an acronym that is a real word or a nonsense word you can pronounce.
Examples:
PEMDAS > sequence in solving or evaluating math equations
Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
ROY G. BIV > the colors of the visible spectrumRed, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
IPMAT > the stages of cell divisionInterphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase
