Order of Operation

Young mathematicians analyze computation errors by three hypothetical learners. It begins with a scenario that presents an equation that includes addition, multiplication, division, and subtraction. According to the order of operations,...

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...

It's the classic please excuse my dear aunt sally strategy to remembering the order of operations. Young mathematicians practice to develop an understanding of the order of operations. Examples and practice problems include absolute...

An understanding of how to use order of operations is a very important mathematical skill to have under one's belt. Here is a presentation that does a very fine job of describing the order of operations and the proper use of parentheses...

Sometimes the simplest ideas can be the most challenging to solve! In this app, you are given five numbers and a set of operators, and you need to create an expression that when evaluated using the order of operations simplifies as the...

PEMDAS is not all that it is cracked up to be. The short video provides an argument that the order of operations may not be instructionally sound. The presentation shows that understanding the concepts and properties of mathematics...

Demonstrating a "really hairy and beastly problem," Sal again shows the power and importance of solving an equation according the order of operations. Additionally, he guides viewers through a step in the equation when there are multiple...

First demonstrating the improper ways of solving an equation (left-to-right, multiplication first), Sal shows viewers how the answer of an equation can be drastically incorrect by neglecting to use the order of operations. He uses...

Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally! Sort of like an animated slide show, this lesson walks fifth graders through the order of operations. Also included are a sing-along karaoke video, key vocabulary with definitions, and a seven-question...

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.
