What is P.E.M.D.A.S
and why do we need
it?
P.E.M.D.A.S. is also know as the
Order of Operations.

Order of Operations is the order in


which you perform mathematical
operations to solve an expression.

We need P.E.M.D.A.S because it helps


us solve expressions properly and
always the same way.
Remember: Calculate an expression
in the wrong order and you will get the
wrong answer.

Used to multiply the same 5x2
number repeatedly. Choose the proper way to
simplify the expression:
Exponent tells how many
times a base number is A. 2 2= 4
multiplied to itself. 4x5 = 20

Choose the correct way to simplify
the expression:
Division is splitting a
larger number into 12 4+2
smaller parts.
A. 4 + 2 = 6
Remember to check
your division with 12 6 = 2
multiplication.
B. 12 4 = 3

addition first if it is in
parenthesis.
An example of an A. 113 + 19 = 132
expression with addition 132 + 81 = 213
in it is:
B. 19 + 81 = 100
100 + 113 = 213
