Order of Operations - PEMDAS




This week, both Regular Math and AC Math are solving Order of Operations problems, referred to as TORNADO problems in class... Tornadoes are rated based on wind and damage and our order of operations problems will progressively get harder and become more intense. We start out with very basic problems; basic operations: add, subtract, multiply, & divide (F1, F2, & F3). Then the problems will increase in difficulty...adding in parentheses & exponents (F4 & F5).


Throughout the unit, the students learned several strategies to solve the problems as well as learned a song to remember the steps for solving. .
