More on Order of Operations

Today, we focussed on how to clearly show our steps for attacking order of operations problems. In a nutshell, the steps are:

1.) Write the original problem on your lined paper.
2.) Determine what your first step is towards coming up with a solution.
3.) Rewrite the problem, starting with an equal sign, and complete the computation you identified in step 2.
4.) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a solution. Your problem may have several intermediate steps to record before finding a solution.
5.) When you find the solution, write it on a line by itself, and then circle it.

Students worked on worksheet 1.6, and completed all problems on the page. Starting with problem #16, all work had to be shown following the format described above.
