Now that’s all fine and dandy…
…but what happens when we have to simplify
an expression with more than one operation?!
How do you know which operation to do first?
next
For example…
15  2  3  1
Take a moment to think about how you
would solve this problem. When you have
an answer in your head, click next.

Without an Order of Operations…
Sally might do this…
15  2  3  1
 13  3  1
 39  1

Einstein might do this…
15  2  3  1
Mrs. Lewis might do this…
15  2  3  1
 15  6  1
 9 1

Billy might do this…
15  2  3  1

Question of the day…
Who is right?
The truth is…if there were no established Order of Operations,
everyone would be right. But that doesn’t get us anywhere!
Maybe someone should decide on a standard order for doing
mathematical operations so that we can all get the same
answer every time!

The ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division (Left to Right)
Addition/Subtraction (Left to Right)

How am I supposed to remember that?
