TODAY, YOU
Write simple numerical
expressions.

LEARNED
It is possible to translate word
problems into numerical expressions.

TO... Use a grouping symbol.


One should solve numbers inside a
grouping symbol (parentheses or
"round brackets") first.

Follow the order of operations.


One must keep in mind a few rules
when solving numerical expressions.
ASSIGNMENT

A mnemonic is a pattern of letters or


numbers to help you remember things.
Look for an effective mnemonic to help
you remember the rules in the order of
operations. Then, prepare to share it with
the class next session.
