Learning Objective

Students will be able to explore learn order of operations with pemdas.

Today's Lesson

In this lesson, we'll explore learn order of operations with pemdas. Mathematical thinking develops logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.

A ratio compares two quantities. For example, if there are 3 boys and 5 girls in a group, the ratio of boys to girls is 3:5 (read "3 to 5"). Ratios can also be written as fractions (3/5) or with the word "to" (3 to 5). Ratios help us compare amounts and understand relationships between numbers in recipes, maps, and many real-world situations.

As you work through today's material, pay attention to the examples and try to identify the patterns or strategies being used. This will help you apply these concepts to new problems.

Take notes on key points and make connections to what you've already learned in previous lessons.
