Catch phrases and acronyms help a lot as well!
... though these are best relegated to fundamental building blocks of knowledge sets, when you use them to summarize a very complex concept, they almost always result in oversimplification and then misunderstanding.
Do you know your mathematical order of operations, and definitions of sin, cosine and tangent?
I have literally forgotten everything past algebra. And probably a lot of the higher algebra stuff too.
PEMDAS

Order of operations and basic trigonometry are ... generally taught prior to algebra, maybe basic trig and pre-algebra/algebra at the same time, or back to back.
So, you actually don't even remember the fundamental precursors to algebra, nor algebra, nor anything after it... if you don't know the order of operations.
I can do a bit better, but I can't remember the quadratic formula off the top of my head anymore... I blame this on there not being an acronym for it, lol.
Ummmm, can you be more specific with the precursors and stuff?
Sure, I can tutor you for $40 / hr.
