Lessons tagged with "PEMDAS"

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using the order of operations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine which operation to perform first (using PEMDAS) and repeat the order of operations until no more can be performed. Then, they compute the final value. In addition to the lesson, there are thirteen pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on evaluating expressions by using the order of operations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students substitute the given value of each variable into the expression. Then, they evaluate the expression by determining which operation to perform first (using PEMDAS) and repeating the order until no more operations can be performed. Finally, they compute the value and interpret the answer. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and 12 flashcards for the order of operations.
