X marks the mnemonic

Our son Nathan, 14, last night figured out a mnemonic for remembering which way the X axis goes on a graph:

X is a-cross

X is a cross. X is across. Works for me.

  1. I love that!

  2. Y has a tail it goes up and down.

  3. A kid clever enough to come up with something like that certainly couldn’t have much trouble remembering which is which. As for myself, I don’t think I will ever confuse the two again.

  4. Thank you. I am always looking for things like this to help my kids learn more effectively. Any more?

  5. Rows and columns: Porches have columns.

    Well, it helped my friend in class when we were learning database basics 8^)
