Abstract: A learning method including the steps of conveying to an individual: a first number through a first representation that relates to subject matter understood to be identified with the first number in conjunction with at least one other word; a symbol for a first arithmetic operation; a second number through a second representation that relates to subject matter understood to be identified with the second number in conjunction with at least one other word; and at least one word associated with at least one of the first and second graphical representations, the at least one word containing information suggesting a third number that is a result of performing the first arithmetic operation using the first and second numbers without identifying the third number by itself.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for learning arithmetic. The system includes a plurality of cards, each with one arithmetic problem on the front and an answer to the problem on the back. The front of the card includes a first number and a first graphical representation commonly associated with the first number and a second number and a second graphical representation commonly associated with the second number. The front may also include one or more clues to the answer to the problem. The back of the card includes a third number which is the solution to the arithmetic problem.
