What is the saying we use to remember the correct Order of Operations?

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

300

Name 2 operations that occur at the same time

Addition/Subtraction or Multiplication/Division

400

Why is it important to know PEMDAS as a mathematican?

So everyone solve a problem the same (correct) way.

Step by Step

100

The first step of the following problem:

7 x 2 x ( 6 - 2 )

Parentheses: 6-2

200

After simplifying the parentheses, what's the next step?

(13 + 4 ) + 10 ÷ 5

Divide: 10 ÷ 5 

300

What is the third step?

(12 +24 ) ÷ ( 0 + 3 ) + 2²

After completing the parentheses (steps 1&2), simplify the exponent.

400

What's the second step? How do you know?

8 ÷ (10 - 2 ) x 2

You need to follow PEMDAS and simplify the operations left to right. After the parentheses, division would be next. 

500

What's the 3rd step?

(20 + 5 ) x 12 + 6

Add 6 to the product of 25 and 12

Solve it

100

3 + 4 x 5

23

200

7 + (2 x 4) - 1

14

300

56 ÷ (4+4) + 3²

16

400

20 – (5+3) x 2 + 4

8

500

(5 x 4) – 6 ÷ 2 + 9

26

Solve it Again

100

14 - 2 x 7

0

200

49 ÷ (3+4) + 5²

32

300

5 + 14 ÷ 2 × 5

40

400

(4-1)² + (5+ 1)²

45

500

1² + 2² x 3² - 4²

21

Don't be Negative

100

-2² + (8-12) =

-8

200

-3 x 6 / (-2)  = 

9

300

18 / (-2) x 4 - 6 =

-42

400

-3² + (20 - 2²) -11 X 2 =

-15

500

-10 - (3 X (-2)²) - (2 - 5²) =

1
