Seventh graders investigate placing parentheses and using the order of operations appropriately to make true sentences. They use the order of operations within a problem and the use of parentheses and their relationship by the order of...

Access prior knowledge to practice concepts like order of operations and exponents. Your class can play this game as a daily review or as a warm-up activity when needed. They work in groups of four to complete and correct review problems.

Your learners use many different number representations like positive and negative integers, exponents, radicals, and combinations of operations as they learn and strengthen their use of the order of operations. Thoughtfully organized to...

Maintain a positive atmosphere in your math class with this fun lesson on adding and subtracting integers. After first explaining the rules for combining positive and negative numbers, this resource uses a comic strip...

Delve into the concept of operating on the set of real numbers! In this operating with the set of real numbers lesson plan, pupils perform order of operations on the set of real numbers using a calculator.

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise that stretches scholars' computation muscles through 13 order of operation problems. 

Students decide where and when to use parentheses. In this algebra lesson, students use parentheses to clarify a math problems and solve correctly. They use order of operation as they solve problems with integers and variable.

Here is another great way to introduce order of operations using "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." Pre-determined small groups work cooperatively to solve expressions. Afterward, they write a journal entry to explain the steps they...

Read a tale for your class as they unravel patterns presented in the story using manipulatives. Pause to allow time for discussion and explanation of solutions throughout the story. They write equations or expressions with order of...

Interpreting algebraic expressions is a fundamental skill in beginning algebra. This lesson approaches the task in numerous ways. First, learners assess their understanding with a short worksheet on converting between words and...

Young scholars solve problems using PEMDAS. In this algebraic equations lesson, students evaluate expressions using real number properties. They play "Math Jeopardy" to reinforce the order of operations.

This algebra learning exercise reviews writing polynomials in standard form from factored form, looks at the graphs of polynomials of degree higher than two, and identifies the zeros of polynomials using the Factor Theorem and...

Straight to the point, learners are asked to compare a set of five expressions, determine which are equivalent, and then write equivalent equations for those that do not have any. A benefit is that they will review using properties...

When do teams want a strike? When they are playing this fun math game modeled after bowling. First, class teams roll four dice to generate the numbers they will use in that round, called a frame, of the game. Next, pins numbered 1...

Seventh graders create a mnemonic device which correctly represents the order of operations. They simplify expressions by correctly following the order of operations. Students use PEMDAS-parentheses, exponents, multiplication,...

Students study the commutative and associative properties. In this multiplication lesson, students review the properties and solve several multiplication problems.

Middle schoolers solve problems that include applying the order of operations to each expression. A nice review of the process is provided in a box at the top of the page, but it does not follow the PEMDAS acrostic. There are 15...

Middle schoolers explore grouping symbols to mathematical equations to discover the importance of the "order of operations." Learners compare the absence of commas in connected text to the absence of grouping symbols in mathematical...

The humane society has created a foundational math symbols lesson. The class defines the words plus, minus and equals, then solves math equations based on proper pet care.

In a detailed format, this plan walks learners through an introduction to place value. They explore place value words and concepts and recognize patterns in the number system. Students identify a number when given a number word. They use...

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.
