Today we begin Unit 5 in which we learn how to complete mathematical operations in the correct order. To start, we had some fun with the “Gold Trading Story” to discover the importance of correct order of operations.
We then spent some time learning about the order of operations and ways to remember it. We finished with examples and a review of our objectives (skills) which we will master in this unit.
Note that this Friday is our End of Unit assessment on Unit 4, which is multiplying and dividing whole numbers, particularly with the standard algorithms.
