15 Bright school hacks that really work

In today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, students are constantly seeking innovative ways to optimize their learning experience at school. Whether you’re looking for time management tips or effective study techniques, we’ve got you covered. So, brace yourself as we dive into the world of school hacks are here to revolutionize the way you navigate the educational landscape and reach your full potential as a student, while keeping it cool.

1. Draw a perfect circle on a board

  • Grab a small towel or cloth and hold it from one of its corners. Keep it still as a reference for the center or the circle.
  • Put your chalk or marker on the opposite corner of the cloth and move it in a circle motion.

2. No more ruining your artwork

To avoid your paint containers from spilling over your crafts with these hacks:

  • Put some hot glue on the side of each bottle and then stick them together to make a circle with them.
  • If the problem is the water cup you use to rinse your brushes, cut the bottom of a balloon and cover the top of the cup with it, then, push the thinner part of it inside the cup.

3. Stop loosing your school supplies

Put rubber bands around your notebook, vertically. Then, place pencils, sharpeners, scissors and other supplies through the elastic bands.

4. Easy way to learn the table of nine

  • Start writing the result to each multiplication in a vertical line, from the number zero, all the way down to the number nine.
  • Then start again from the bottom and write the numbers from zero to nine, all the way up to the beginning of the line.

5. Relaxing notebook cover

  • Put some orbeez gel pearls inside a ziploc bag.
  • Add some slime and close the bag.
  • Put the bag on the cover of your notebook,
  • Stick a foamy rectangle, with a hole in the middle, over the cover with the bag.

6. Solving multiplications the easy way

If you have to multiply by 11, the result will be equal to:

  • The first digit of your number
  • The first digit plus the second one
  • The second digit plus the third one
  • The last digit

7. Quickly solving equations

  • Move the final number on the left side of the equation to the other side, with the opposite sign.
  • Solve the operation on the right side.
  • Move the right side number, next to the X, to the left side.
  • Divide the previous result by that number.
  • The result of that division will be the value of the X on the equation.

8. No compass, no problem

Draw a perfect circle using any of these hacks:

  • Put the tip of a pen in the middle of the straight part of it. With another pencil, start drawing your circle, rotating the protractor, while following the inside curved shape.
  • Follow the same technique, using a clip. Place a pencil on the inside curve of one side of the clip and another pen on the other.
  • You can also get a perfect circle if you keep your pen still and rotate the paper sheet instead.

9. Multiply with no calculator

  • Make a grid to know the result of a multiplication of three digits by one.
  • Draw vertical lines for each digit on the left side, leaving a space between each group of lines.
  • Cross them with horizontal lines for each digit of the right side.
  • Count the intersection points that you got on the grid, for each digit of the right side, and that will be the result.

10. DIY Pop-it

  • Take a piece of foamy, heat it with a hair straightener.
  • Take the cap of a marker and put it with the hole looking up.
  • Put your piece of warm foamy on the cap and press down to give it the shape of the hole.
  • Stick another piece of foamy on top of it and around the bubble.

11. Never forget your to-do’s again

Take an old photo frame and turn it into an erasable board. Place a colorful sheet instead of the picture and start writing on the glass with an erasable marker.

12. Creative pencils

Take the ink cartridge out of the pen, put it inside a straw and seal the top with some hot glue.

13. Accurate bookmark

  • Put a rubber band around your book and on the page you need to keep reading.
  • Put a paper clip on the band to mark the exact line that you were reading.

14. No more wrinkled sheets inside your backpack

  • Roll your sheets, so they fit inside an empty kitchen paper tube.
  • Put them inside the tube to avoid wrinkles.

15. Focus when reading

If you’re having trouble focusing on what you’re reading, try chewing a gum. That will help you stay more focused.
