About PEMDAS:
When we encounter multiple operations in a problem, we use the order of operations to determine which operation takes priority. PEMDAS is an acronym used to remember the order of operations.PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiply or Divide (working from left to right)
- Add or Subtract (working from left to right)
Test Objectives
- Demonstrate a memorization of the Order of Operations
- Demonstrate an understanding of how to perform the steps MD and AS in PEMDAS
- Demonstrate the ability to solve a problem with multiple operations using the Order of Operations
