ORDER OF OPERATIONS - EXTRA PRACTICE

Here are some websites with games and helpful information so you can continue to practice working with the order of operations. We will continue to work on this Monday so make sure you are ready. If you complete any of the activities make sure you comment with a short explanation of what you worked on.

RELAY RACES IN MATH CLASS????
















Sharpen up those pencils and get ready!

LET THE RACING BEGIN!

1) I will split the class into 5 or 6 teams. Our teams will be in rows.
2) I will give each team the same order of operations problem.
3) Each student on the team is allowed to complete only ONE step. To keep track of this each team member will have a different colored pencil.
4) When the student finishes his/her step, he passes the paper back (the last person in the row has to run up and give the paper back to the first student) until the problem is completed.
5) The first team to finish wins … almost. The teams that aren’t done must turn the paper over while I check the answer. If it’s incorrect, I will write the work on the board and the remaining teams can resume their problem solving until a team comes up with the right answer. Afterwards we will find the error together so that all teams can be successful on the next round.

GOOD MORNING FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today in class we will be doing more practice on the Order of Operations and then begin our official introduction into Algebra.
