Order of Operations - Beginners Guide

Class Overview:
This engaging class focuses on mastering the order of operations, a crucial skill for success in math. Learners will explore how to correctly simplify mathematical expressions using the "GEMDAS" method (Grouping Symbols, Exponents & Radicals, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

What We’ll Cover:
Review of basic operations and their various forms in mathematical expressions.
Introduction to "GEMDAS" and its role in simplifying expressions.
Step-by-step application of the order of operations through guided practice.

Class Structure:
Our sessions will follow a proven three-step approach:
I Do – The teacher demonstrates solving an expression while learners observe.
We Do – Learners and the teacher solve problems together, fostering collaboration and understanding.
You Do – Learners work on problems independently to build confidence, with opportunities to ask questions for clarification.

Interactive Learning Experience:
Students will engage through an instruction with clear and concise slides.
Hands-on practice problems and interactive discussions. An Exit Ticket at the end of class to check for understanding and ensure mastery of the day’s lesson.
