Once students have mastered the basics of order of operations with exponents, this flipchart offers opportunities for practice and deeper processing. You will want to have students work with whiteboards or 0-9 tiles at their desks.

Addresses TEKS 7.2E, but is appropriate for 7th or 8th graders.

Accompanies Holt Course 2, Chapter 1, Section 5. Addresses TEKS 7.2E.

The students are led through a series of modeled examples to simplify expressions containing more than one operation.

Order of operations is presented from the need to know them, followed by connecting them to the little saying of "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". The process of simplifying the expression is modeled carefully step by step, then students are given two problems to solve and the steps are shown. The students do independent practice on five problems and the answers can be viewed in the final answer mirror box. In the last page students are given expressions and asked to choose the correct order of operations.
