We remember our childhood years with great warmth. In addition to carelessness, the time was filled with many discoveries, when we learned this world step by step. It was interesting and exciting.
One information we have firmly assimilated and continue to use, the other – hopelessly forgotten in view of its uselessness for us. Someone remembered the wisdom of geometry and became a builder, where the knowledge of formulas and spatial patterns came in handy. Someone has found application to the basics of biology, and someone in practice uses the knowledge of computer science or chemistry.

"Site" recall
schoolworkMaybe they didn’t meet everyone at the time. However, those who have mastered this information then, remember it in adulthood. Such small life hacks from the brightest time are able to help out now.
Skills of schoolchildren
- Number of days in a month
To remember in which month 31 days and in which less, it is enough to squeeze your hands into fists, put them together and pay attention to the knuckles. So, on each bump there will be a full month (31 days), and on the depression - incomplete (30 days or less).
- Moon phases
If the moon ages, the crescent moon in the sky forms the letter "C". Such a moon is considered waning. If we are talking about the growing moon, then its crescent will be turned in the other direction and, “putting” a finger to the celestial body, you can find the letter “R”. The last operation helps to make sure that the moon is really growing.
- Battery status
When the remote from your favorite TV stops working normally, all suspicions immediately fall on the batteries. But if there are no new ones at hand, then you have to go through the old ones to find a tolerable working couple. And here it is very convenient to recall a child's trick: if the battery is dropped from a height of a couple of centimeters on the table, then the charged will land hard on a solid surface, while the "settled" will jump.
By the way, if you lick the “plus” of a charged battery, you can feel an unpleasant taste (from mild sourness to a slight tingling). Still, doctors do not advise licking batteries, so as not to give pathogens a chance. But who cares about these little things as a child?
- Rainbow colors
To remember the order of the colors of the rainbow, you can remember a simple sentence, the first letters of which you can easily recreate a beautiful picture before your eyes. “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits.” It is easy to understand that 7 colors replace each other in the following order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple.
- Length
It is often necessary to measure an object to know its exact length in centimeters. But hardly anyone will constantly carry a ruler or even more measuring roulette. Therefore, you can use the knowledge of the proportions of your body. So the distance between the most spread thumb and index finger is an average of 18 cm, and between the thumb and the little finger - 20 cm. Of course, everyone has different hand sizes, but by measuring them in advance, you can use this knowledge in the future.
As you can see,
student skillsAcquired at an early age, can often be used in adulthood. Moreover, such fascinating patterns can please your children, nephews or grandchildren, pushing them to the fact that acquiring new knowledge is not only fascinating, but also useful.
