That reminded me of the day my substitute teaching sister had to report to an elementary school math class. Students were suffering from a failure to catch on to the principle of division. When she realized the difficulty she went on to explain to the class that all they have to do is remember their 'gazintas'. Fearing she had created more confusion, she went on to provide an example: 3 gazinta 12 four times! The 'gazintas' put the students in a much happier place!
