Solve individually 20+8/4. Share your answers with the class. Did
everyone get the same answer? How do you know who is right?
Should have 22. Wrong answer is 7.
RULES OF OPERATIONS: BEDMAS notes: brackets, exponents,
divide or multiply left to right, add or subtract left to right.
Example: 11-6+8=13, 6+8-11=3, remember work left to right when
you have both + and- in the question, it will change your answer, do
not change the question order, work left to right. 18-8/2=14,
remember order, / before -. 7+3*2-4=9. Break down and solve each
order in steps so students can visually see. Have them solve
9/3+7*2=17. If all get it, show on board and move on, if not, have
student explain how they solved it. Watch BEDMAS song
BEDMAS song, can pause video and have students solve
example with it, or just use as review and have them visually

Self-Evaluation / Reflection:
I skipped the song, most have seen it before as PEMDAS, but it is the same thing as BEDMAS. Students will need
more practice with this. We did questions on the board, some would get right, others not. Using the individual
whiteboards for formative feedback was quite helpful, the students enjoy using them and I can see what they are
doing. For more practice they worked on the crossword for the rest of class. They get some correct and others not.
I need to figure out a better system for collecting in homework. Not all of them check their answers in the back of
the book. I will keep emphasizing check your work so you can solve it correctly. Show your work, if you cannot
figure it out I will be able to help you find the mistake. At the start of class they can hand in their homework and
work on the start of class problem while I mark down who has it completed. If they have already checked their work
I can do this faster. I do not want to keep their exercise book because they will need it to work from and take notes
in.
