Order of Operations. Does the order in which operations are done make any difference?. Ex. Which is the correct answer when simplifying 6 + 3 x 12?. 6+ 3x12 =6+ 36 =42. 6+3 x12 = 9 x12 =108. OR. What Rule Do These Examples Seem to Follow?. PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally).

Does the order in which operations are done make any difference? • Ex. Which is the correct answer when simplifying 6 + 3 x 12? 6+3x12 =6+36 =42 6+3x12 =9x12 =108 OR
PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) • Parenthesis • Exponents • Multiplication/Division • Addition/Subtraction
Grouping Symbols • Grouping symbols such as parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], and braces are used to clarify or change the order of operations. • They indicate that the expression within the grouping symbol is to be evaluated first.
Fraction Bar • A fraction bar is another type of grouping symbol. • It indicates that the numerator and denominator should each be treated as a single value.

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions • First replace the variables with their values. • Then, find the value of the numerical expressions using the order of operations.
Evaluate the following if g = 4, h = 6, j = 8, and k = 12. A: 30 A: 160 A: 1
Evaluate the following if x = 2, y = 3, a = 4/5, and b = 3/5. A: 9 A: 1
Evaluate the following if x = 2, y = 3, a = 4/5, and b = 3/5.
Evaluate the following if x = 2, y = 3, a = 4/5, and b = 3/5.
Use Algebraic Expressions • Draw diagrams when possible. • Write an expression that represents what the question is asking you to find.
