Please no judgement !
When I was in elementary school, my moron school thought it was smart to teach us Vaughn Dean's multiplication by picture association. It was where the numbers somehow made up a word.
So say if they gave us the multiplication 3x4, they taught it to be 3x4 meant the word mare.
The 3 made up the m and the 4 made up the r.
Then they taught us that the answer word was tin. The t meant 1 and n means 2. So 3x4=12.
I know this isn't going to make sense to 90% of people reading this, but I'm trying to find people who have had to learn this way. Does anybody know where I can find it online ? It is absolutely nowhere to be found ,which hardly makes sense considering they even had flash cards for us. Please someone help me out. I need to talk to people who understand.

This is even the article to prove it exists , but it was only in schools in Pennsylvania and new Jersey.

I'm 21, from Mercer County, NJ. I've lived here my whole life.

I've never seen this.

Not many people have , fortunately.. and unfortunately.
It didn't go to all schools. It must've been a trial of some sort because it didn't last long. I believe only 1-2 years it did.

Anyone ?

Please somebody relate ?

Never heard of this. What I did learn was to do counting with something called "touch points" which are like... well, I'll just include a picture since it's pretty self explanatory. I don't know how common these were but I found them extremely helpful and still use them even today.
