What is PEMDAS? • PEMDAS is the known as the Order of Operations • PEMDAS is the acronym we use to decide what operation to solve first • PEMDAS or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
PEMDAS • What does PEMDAS stand for? • • • Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
What do I do first? • Follow PEMDAS! • If there is a parentheses, use PEMDAS to solve within the parentheses • X+2 x 4– 1 • (2+3) x 2 - 1
Step by step 2 5 – 36 2 3 What’s my first step? Exponents!!
Step by Step 25 – 36 9 What’s my second step? Division!!
Step by Step 25 – 4 Now, time for the last step…. Subtraction! =21
Step by step [4 – 2(10 -4)] x 3 [4 – 2(6)] x 3 [4 – 12] x 3 -8 x 3 -24
Who’s correct? 1– 5+4 x 2 - = -5 =5 2 3 =3
Who’s correct? 4 2 – = -3 2 3(3 =4 -5) = -4
5. 7 x 3 + 5 - |14 – 18| + 2 x 2 4
Who’s right?
