Order of Operations          Lesson 1.1

When you do a multi-step problem you have to follow a certain order. To follow this order use the please excuse my dear aunt sally or

P       E           M        D       A          S

( )   exponents    x         /        +          -

When you do a multi-step problem it is important that you follow the order, if not you will get the wrong answer.

34-(20+2)x3

____________

When you have letters that are next to each other go from left to right.

Ex: 2/16x6

In this case you have M and D which are division and multiplication and even though multiplication is first, you have to do division.

A    (12-3)x2+35

B     24x2+33(5-3)

Drawing models

Lisa has twice as many roses as carnations. She has 12 roses in her garden.

1.    Draw your model

R                          =12

C

2.    
Divide the number of boxes by the total.

         4/12=4     (/=division sing)

3.    Put your answer in all the boxes

R                          =12

C

4

.   
To answer questions they give you, you look at your model, do the work and you’ll get it. Let’s do the following 3 together.

·       How many roses are there?

In this one you have to multiply the 4 two times because there are two boxes with the four in it so your answer should be 8.

·       How many more roses than carnations?

In this case, you’ll need to subtract the number of roses you have from the number of carnations, and you get 4.

·       How many carnations?

On this one, you have to multiply 4 times one. So your answer should be 4.

Poems

Stanzas- groups of words in a poem

Figurative language- a phrase that says something but doesn’t really show its real meaning.

Ex: The sun was beating me down. = The sun was so hot, I was getting tired

In this sentence the sun doesn’t actually beat you down.

Poems don’t always have to rhyme

Rhyme pattern is the pattern of rhymes

Ex: Bored at home. A

With nothing to say. B

I hear the same stories every day. B

Lost in time, ‘cause I’m sleeping. C

And also when I’m reading. C

Each two lines that rhyme get the same letter.
