Bedlam with BEDMAS !!!




There were some frustrated students in math class today but, I am not sure why as we have done Order of Operations using the BEDMAS strategy already. The only difference is now we are doing them with fractions. We will be going over this again to make sure you all understand because there will be questions on the Order of Operations on your fractions math test on Thursday and Friday.


A reminder;

B E D M A S stands for:

Brackets ( )
Exponents
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

1st- brackets ( )
2nd- exponents
3rd- divide or multiply in order from left to right.
4th- addition or subtraction in order from left to right.
