When I was in year 4 in junior school (about eight years old) our teacher taught us the times tables in songs. We did the six times table to the tune of row row row your boat. I’ve never forgotten it and even now when I recite that times table in my head I do it to that tune. I really struggled with times tables and this helped it click for me.

I’ve tried to find her since on Facebook but couldn’t so I’d you’re reading this Mrs Sargeant, thank you!

I learned the alphabet song all the way back in kindergarten but it does help me when I am shelving books at work.

Fractions. I use them in cooking and baking. I cook for 2 and most recipes give you the ingredients for 4 or 6.

Times tables, mental arithmetics, to check if a promotion at the supermarket is a good as it claims.

Spanish - even my rusty, schoolgirl Spanish was enough to help some tourists once.

How the European Union works. It helped me debunk the Leave campaign leaflet in 10 seconds flat. (Don’t get me wrong, the EU is faaaaar from perfect, but that leaflet stated a couple of out and out lies.)

History, WW2 in particular. Here in Britain many people believe that Britain won the war. Many Americans believe that the US win the war.
It’s like the Russian front and the 22 million Russian soldiers never existed.

Ok, I assumed to need math from the get go, but somehow 3d design and the need to remember how to do basic trigonometry somehow felt so good. Like take that you math doubters or don't do angles!

Very early on in my preschool teaching career, sewing. The kids each had to make a cushion to have for rest time, so I set up the sewing machine and I helped make about 50 cushions!
