What’s Goin’ On In Room 133

Posts Tagged ‘order of operations’

Colleagues, dear colleagues.  We have come so far in such a short time.  Normally, I put our video links on our Great Links Abound! page (and you do want to check there for new stuff from time to time).  But I want to put these two in a post because it reminds us that all math is inter-related.  When we truly understand the properties of our extraordinary number system, we find that we spend less time crunching numbers and more time exploring ideas.  

Now, mind you, these links won’t illustrate that last point; that’s just your crazy Mr Edwards going off again about math!  And these links are not spectacular; they just show a lady going over some math problems.  But they DO remind us about a few things we have learned this year – and applies them to what we are doing now.  So get a pencil, a small notepad and your favorite hot beverage and click away!  (And when it really starts gettin’ good to ya - try not to spill that stuff on your keyboard, okay? )
