Students visited a website today (www.coolmath.com) to learn about order of operations. We then practiced how to use this order to simplify a series of expressions. The trick to remember is that you cannot just compute from left to right. You must check the entire expression, and then simplify in order, looking for grouping symbols and exponents first. Next, complete any multiplication and division, working left to right. Last, complete all addition and subtraction, working left to right.
Tonight's Homework: Complete both sides of the gray worksheet on Order of Operations.
