Some Officers Have Coaches And Horses To Order About

or

Some Old Hens Cackle Away Happily, Try Our Apples.

It's amazing what one can remember from more than 30 years ago, and that must have been the last time that I used it.

Good mnemonics, but I prefer chants and rhymes. Try this one my DD came home from school with when she was in year 1 or 2. It really works. She used it to remember 8x8 is 64

"I ate and I ate until I was sick on the floor. So, eight times eight is sixty four".

I passed it onto some special year 10's I was teaching and they loved it. Grossness always helps.
