Lesson Plan Description

Perfect for reviewing or reteaching the complicated symbols for order of operations, this lesson provides multiple opportunities for academic mathematical “talk” and practice.  The more opportunities our 5th graders have to work with this foundational skill the better 😉.  They will:

  • Collaborate and use the “language” of place value and decimals in strategic, purposeful note-taking partnerships
  • Review and practice distinguishing between parentheses, brackets, and braces
  • Apply previous knowledge about the order of operations (PEMDAS) to new situations
  • Complete an exit slip to help determine your next instructional steps
