Order of Operations - The Basics

Solving equations is as easy as 1-2-3. Using two examples, the video shows the order of the steps to use when solving a two-step equation. It uses a vertical approach to perform the inverse operations to isolate the variable. To finish,...

Many times budding algebrists are fine when plugging specific numbers into expressions, but less certain when the range of acceptable values is undetermined. This detailed presentation helps the class move from the point value to...

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally - or whichever mnemonic your students use for the order of operations - is the focus of this video. Sal takes viewers through various mathematical equations which require the use of the order of...

Breaking down the order of operations doesn't get any easier than this! Young mathematicians watch a YouTube video that explains how to evaluate a numerical expression using the order of operations. The expression involves integers and...

First, by demonstrating the improper ways of solving an equation (left-to-right, multiplication first), Sal shows viewers how the answer to an equation can be drastically incorrect if the order of operations is neglected. He uses several...

Not only can equations have many steps to solve, but those steps can look very different from equation to equation. The narrator of the video lesson explains the steps to solving six different multi-step equations. He provides...

As if solving multi-step equations isn't challenging enough, now they have decimals! The video lesson explains strategies for working with these decimals while solving. Learners watch as the video instructor explains how to solve two...

Division just got a little trickier! An interactive lesson highlights the steps of dividing two rational expressions. Young scholars determine the order of the steps from a bank of possible work. 

It's the classic please excuse my dear aunt sally strategy to remembering the order of operations. Young mathematicians practice to develop an understanding of the order of operations. Examples and practice problems include...
