What Makes

Different

MaMaMia Flashcards go beyond traditional vocabulary study by combining color, visuals, and context into one simple system.

A vocabulary learning system that goes beyond rote memorization

Child-Friendly visuals that act as strong memory anchors

Science suggests Color Coding* for improved memory recognition

Definitions feel clear and visuals that turn abstract words into concrete meaning

Multiple connections for each word (such as, definition, example, synonym, antonym)

Screen-free and portable for focused learning anytime, anywhere

*“…for the colored frames of Experiment 4B, however, there is a significant improvement in recognition memory… Proportion correct improves from 77.0% to 80.0% if colored frames surround the images during presentation and query phase. This increase in proportion correct is statistically significant, t(19) = 2.51, p = .05.”— Wichmann, F. A., Sharpe, L. T., & Gegenfurtner, K. R. (2002). The contributions of color to recognition memory for natural scenes.Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 28(3), 509–520. Paper available here.

“I’ve never liked vocab drills, but these flashcards feel more like a game. The cartoons make the words stick, and flipping through cards is much faster than scrolling on an app.”

Sophia, 10th Grade

“I wanted something my son would actually use. He reviews them in the car instead of staring at a screen, and he actually enjoys it.”

Emily, Parent of an SSAT Student

Child-Friendly Visuals make Learning Easier

Carefully designed illustrations turn abstract vocabulary into concrete, memorable meaning.

Color is part of Learning

Each color is intentionally designed to support attention, emotion, and memory.

Designed for "Screen-Off" Learning

Physical cards encourage deeper thinking beyond tapping and swiping.

Make Learning & Test Prep More effective and Easier

Each MaMaMia card pairs vocabulary with a carefully designed illustration that turns abstract words into something easier for recall

- Designed for quicker retrieval for SSAT (synonym and analogy type questions) and new 2026 SAT (diction questions)
- Reduces cognitive overload so SSAT and SAT test takers remember with less effort
- Students learn how to use these words in example sentences, not just what they mean
- Builds neural patterns that improve vocabulary recognition
- Creates mental associations linking each word to example sentences, synonyms, and antonyms

Instead of memorizing each vocabulary word in isolation,
learners recognize, connect, and remember the vocabulary more easily.

Screen-Off
Learning Matters

In a world of constant notifications and fragmented attention from their smartphones, screen-free learning creates space for real focus and deeper understanding.

Smartphones introduce constant micro-interruptions，MaMaMia offers:
- No distractions or dopamine loops during encoding process
- Focus and deep concentration while learning- Active Thinking as student learns to connect word with meaning and friendly visuals
- Hands-on, tactile engagement with paper-based flashcard (old school way of learning)

Screen-off learning reflects an intentional choice about how we want students to think and learn.

No Screen No Phone Campaign.
Unlink children from constant phone dependence.

It’s more of a small “protest” against ....
- Against doom-scrolling and cheap dopamine fixes for them.
- Against glowing rectangles at dinner tables.
- Against the quiet disappearance of "slow" thinking.
Advocating for less digital distraction, here!

This belief is not just an idea,
It is built into how we thought through how we designed our learning tools.

For students having a hard time learning new words...

Our word cards transform vocabulary learning from dry vocabulary lists into a clear vocabulary card that students can use immediately.

- No need to copy, rewrite, or organize words by hand
- Meaning, example, and usage presented in one clear format
- Synonyms and antonyms to build word relationships
- Clean visual structure that reduces cognitive load

MaMaMia Flashcards is designed for students who want to acquire vocabulary efficiently and achieve higher long-term retention.

Designed by a Teacher & Neuroscientist

MaMaMia Flashcards were created by Kevin, a high school and test-prep teacher with 11 years of SAT and SSAT experience, in collaboration with Dr. K. Carlson, neuro-cognitive psychologist, to align with how the brain learns best.
