Did you learn it as “sign on highway, cozy at home, tan on arm”? That’s basically the only high school math that stuck with me.

Oh and I guess negative b plus or minus b squared something something four a c over two a. I think there’s a square root to shove most of that into.

I always thought sohcahtoa itself was quite memorable. Sounds like a war cry!

We made this up in school: "saya tak hensem, kalau saya hensem, tentu Tipah suka" [opposite = tentang, adjacent = sebelah, cos = kos]

Translation: I'm not handsome, if I were handsome, Tipah (our principal) would like me"

25 years ago and I still remember it clearly. Also it was middle school education on how to solve problems in a different space; this one solving math in a second language space lol

In my school, it was "Some Old Hippie Caught Another Hippie Tripping On Acid," which succeeded in being quite memorable for me. In retrospect it seems a bit wild compared to some of the examples here, especially considering it was taught at a public school in the US deep south!

I learned it as: Some old hags, can't always hide, their old age.

I guess this is the version we use in Australia.

Sex On Holidays Can Advance Happiness To Outrageous Amplitudes. Not suitable for a high school class, though.

For us it was "Some officers have curly auburn hair 'til old age". Never seemed like a good mnemonic given that you have to shorten "until" to make it work and none of us had any idea what "auburn" was, but I still remember it 20 years later so...

No. Just "Sohcahtoa" was enough. Didn't need to create a backronym for it.

And the quadratic equation...yeah, I don't remember that one.

Sorry, what are all these mnemonics for? I can't imagine what you are trying to remember with these, as we never introduced such mnemonics in school.

In the UK it was “Attack Henry Cooper, outside his shop, on a Tuesday” no idea why the random violence but I never forgot it
