Back to School With Math

Let's start with a review of Math from last year. Go through Lesson 1 which is a review of concepts from last year.

Remember the saying "Please My Dear Aunt Sally" as a reminder of the order of operations:

P = Parenthesis (Do the stuff in parenthesis first) then...

M & D = Multiplication & Division then...

A & S - Addition and Subtraction

You can also add to the Please My Dear Aunt Sally Lets Run because you need to do things

L = Left to ...

R = Right

When you get to page 6 on the Unit at A Glance worksheet do the problems and show all of your work EACH STEP OF ORDER OF OPERATIONS. Here is ta copy of it:


Remember Please My Dear Aunt Sally Let's Run!











Variable expressions are just that, substituting variables like:

1+2 x = Y IF X = 3 THEN SOLVE FOR Y

Keep going through the review and use the link that explains Word Expressions:

Here is a copy of the link

Word expressions are problems in written form.

Example: fourteen decreased by the difference of a number and three

Finally go through inequalities and solving word problems.
