FUN MATH!

by brenneberg on February 9, 2010 at 2:56 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

We have just started Order of Operations. BEDMAS is the easy way to remember this. Inside the brackets first, exponents (not for Grade 6! Don’t have to do that step this year), division, multiplication, addition and lastly subtraction.

Students are encouraged to ask me for extra help and questions if they don’t understand or if they just want extra work because they love math!

Examples: (please note the / is the divided sign)

6 + 5 x 3

6 + 15 = 21

40 – 60 / 5 =

40 – 15 = 25

(6 x 4) / 3 + 12

24 / 3 + 12

8 + 12 = 20

Some extra work:

(5 -2) x 12 =

6  – 12 / 4 =

13 + 2 x 4

4 x 14 / 7 =

5 x (30/6) + 4 =

22 / (5 x 2 + 1) =

Good luck!

Yikes!

I have been neglecting the blog… Time has zipped by the past few weeks. My apologies.

Quick work update – French winter scene poster and RugRats story book are due before the break.

The Christmas Concert for Intermediates is Thursday at 1:15 and 6:30. Hopefully everyone know about them and have their tickets.

Hope everyone has a great 2 weeks – I promise to keep this updated in 2010!
