Training Objective: students will be able to evaluate expressions using the order of operations.
33? The Order of Operations ensures that we all arrive at the same destination by ordering us what to do next.

Evaluate = (2 x 5 = 10, multiplication) = 27 (37 – 10 = 27, subtraction)
Evaluate 30 ÷ = (30 ÷ 6 = 5, division) = (4 7 = 28, multiplication) = 33 ( = 33, addition)
Evaluate (28 – 12) ÷ = 16 ÷ (parentheses) = 16 ÷ (exponents) = (division) = (multiplication) = 54 (addition)
Evaluate (6 + 1) 4 = (parentheses) = (exponents) = (multiplication) = (multiplication) = (subtraction) = (addition) = 130 (addition)
The parentheses in this equation serve a vital function: (8 - 3) + 7 = 12 TrueFalse
The parentheses in this equation serve a vital function: (2 + 4) 2 = 12 TrueFalse
The parentheses in this equation serve a vital function: 10 8 – (5 + 3) = 72 TrueFalse
The parentheses in this equation serve a vital function: [(2 3 ) 3] ÷ 6 = 4 TrueFalse
To evaluate an expression with variables, first plug in the value of each variable. Next, evaluate the expression using the order of operations.
Evaluate n + (13 - n) 5 for n = 8 = 8 + (13 – 8) 5 (plug in) = (parentheses) = (division) = 9 (addition)
Evaluate 8y – (2x 2 + 6z) for x = 5, y = 7, z =1 = 8 5 – ( ) (plug in)
Evaluate 8y – (2x 2 + 6z) for x = 5, y = 7, z =1 = 8 7 – ( ) (plug in) = 8 7 – ( )(parentheses/exponents) = 8 7 – ( )(parentheses/multiplication) = 8 7 – (50 + 6)(parentheses/multiplication) = 8 7 – 56(parentheses/addition) = 56 – 56(multiplication) = 0(subtraction)
