How to Memorize "equation"

  1. visualize

    - To visualize an equation, imagine the variables as objects that can be manipulated to maintain equality.
    - For example, to visualize the equation x + 3 = 5, imagine adding 3 to x until x = 2, then subtracting 3 from 5 to get the other side equal to x.

  2. associate

    - To memorize an equation, associate it with a mnemonic or a memorable phrase.
    - For example, to remember the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a, one could use the mnemonic 'Buns Are Good, Apples Cost Extra' to remember the order of the terms.

  3. mnemonics

    - Create a mnemonic to help remember the order of operations in PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction): 'Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally'.
