Order of Operations - Slides, Notes, and Practice

I use this Order of Operations PowerPoint lesson and resources to teach my students how to solve expressions brackets, braces, parentheses, and multiple operations.

I have changed the traditional "PEMDAS" acronym and write it a different way for my students (see the anchor chart in the preview images). It has completely changed their understanding of this topic! They no longer think that multiplication always comes before division and addition always comes before subtraction: a common mistake that even adults make.

1. Order of Operations PowerPoint Lesson

4. Parentheses Practice Page
