8. The Order of Operations tells us how to do a math problem with more than one operation, in the correct order.

9. Order of Operations A standard way to simplify mathematical expressions and equations.

10. In most languages, the meaning of words depend on the order: Ex. Sign the check Is not the same as Check the sign

11. Mathematics is a type of language and it also has a specific order. Ex. 3 + 5 X 2 What do we do first? Add or multiply? If we add first: 3 + 5 X 2 8X 2 16 If we multiply first: 3 + 5 X 2 103 + 13 Uh Oh! Which one is the correct answer? Help ! Oh no!

13. What is PEMDAS? In order to make sure every person gets the same answer to a math problem, mathematicians came up with a rule called the order of operations Parenthesis ( ) [ ] Exponents 23 Multiplication X Division ÷ Addition + Subtraction - Whichever comes first from left to right!

14. Purpose  Avoids Confusion  Gives Consistency For example: 8 + 3 * 4 = 11 * 4 = 44 Or does it equal 8 + 3 * 4 = 8 + 12 = 20

15. The Rules 1. Simplify within Grouping Symbols ( ), { }, [ ], | | 2. Simplify Exponents Raise to Powers 3. Complete Multiplication and Division from Left to Right 4. Complete Addition and Subtraction from Left to Right

31. PEMDAS 64  (9 x 3-19) 64  (27 –19) 64  8 8

32. Part 2 Using grouping Symbols Grouping symbols such as parenthesis ( ) and brackets [ ] come first in the order of operations. A fraction bar is also a grouping symbol since: 4 + 2 = (4 + 2) ÷ 3 3 Always work inside grouping symbols first!

33. Order of Operations 1) Work inside grouping symbols. 2) Multiply and divide from left to right. 3) Add and subtract in order from left to right.

34. Example 3 Simplify 10 ÷ [9 – (2 2)].. 10 ÷ [9 – (2 2)]. 10 ÷ [9 – ] 10 ÷ 4 5 2 Multiply in parenthesis. Subtract in brackets. Divide. PEMDAS
