Order of Operations

We’ve been working on integer operations and order of operations this week. We’ve been practicing the norms of working together in random groups at whiteboards around the room. We’re practicing listening carefully when I say the questions out loud, and getting right to work.

In our consolidation today the focus was on the correct order of the operations, and also we worked on clear notation, where each step is written out to show what is changed.

We had quite a lot of unconventional notation which sometimes makes some operations get lost along the way.

We’ve got lots of time to keep working on our notation and our order of operations skills.

We also have been enjoying this excellent song to help us remember the order of operations.
