What's so hard to understand 3 major relationships? Sin, cos, tan? I myself
can never remember all the mnemonics-what if they can't either? These kids
can play computer games that'll knock your sock off-can't they recognize a
few ratios?

I had learned "Oscar Had A Heap Of Apples" for trig functions sine, cosine
and tangent as opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse, myself in high
school.

Then one student offered "Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippie Tripping On
Acid", which while contrary to our drug use policy at school is very catchy
for students.

I tried "Some Obese Heifer Cow Always Had Taken Others Alfalfa" but it
wasn't nearly as effective.

What are some mnemonics or memory devices that you use in you math
classroom? One I came up with for my students is that you have to use the
Law of Cosines in SASSy triangles to help them remember SAS and SSS is when
the LOC is necessary.
