Just the facts:

Order of Operations and


Properties of real numbers
Important things to remember
• Parenthesis – anything grouped… including information
above or below a fraction bar.

• Exponents – anything in the same family as a ‘power’…


this includes radicals (square roots).

• Multiplication- this includes distributive property


(discussed in detail later).

Some items are grouped!!!


• Multiplication and Division are GROUPED from left to
right (like reading a book- do whichever comes first.

• Addition and Subtraction are also grouped from left to


right, do whichever comes first in the problem.
So really it looks like this…..

• Parenthesis
• Exponents
• Multiplication and Division In order from left to right
• Addition and Subtraction In order from left to right
SAMPLE PROBLEM #1
16  4(3  1)  22  11 
Parenthesis
3

16  4(2)  22  11 
3
Exponents

16  4(8)  22  11  This one is tricky!

Remember: Multiplication/Division are grouped from left to right…what comes 1st?

4(8)  22  11 
Division did…now do the multiplication (indicated by parenthesis)

32  22  11 
More division

32  2 
Subtraction

SAMPLE PROBLEM
3(2  3)  65 2
3(5)  65 2

Exponents
Parenthesis

3(25)  65 75  65 10

Remember the division Division –
Subtraction
symbol here is grouping because all the
everything on top, so work is done
work everything up there above and
first….multiplication below the line
Order of Operations-BASICS
Think: PEMDAS
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
• Parenthesis
• Exponents
• Multiplication
• Division
• Addition
• Subtraction
Take time to practice
Assignment #1
(When all assigned problems are finished –
do for Homework as needed)

• Remember PEMDAS and “Please Excuse


My Dear Aunt Sally”?
• Make up your own acronym for PEMDAS
and post it on the class wiki.
• Write it on White Paper and Illustrate your
acronym.
• Make sure it is school appropriate.
Lesson Extension
• Can you fill in the missing operations?
1. 2 - (3+5) + 4 = -2

2. 4 + 7 * 3 ÷ 3 = 11

3. 5 * 3 + 5 ÷ 2 = 10
Part 2:
Properties of Real Numbers
(A listing)

• Associative Properties
• Commutative Properties
• Inverse Properties
• Identity Properties
• Distributive Property
All of these rules apply to Addition and Multiplication
Associative Properties
Associate = group
It doesn’t matter how you group (associate) addition
or multiplication…the answer will be the same!
Rules: Samples:
Associative Property of Addition Associative Property of Addition

(a+b)+c = a+(b+c) (1+2)+3 = 1+(2+3)

Associative Property of Multiplication Associative Property of Multiplication

(ab)c = a(bc) (2x3)4 = 2(3x4)


Commutative Properties
Commute = travel (move)
It doesn’t matter how you swap addition or
multiplication around…the answer will be the same!
Rules: Samples:
Commutative Property of Addition Commutative Property of Addition

a+b = b+a 1+2 = 2+1

Commutative Property of Multiplication Commutative Property of Multiplication

ab = ba (2x3) = (3x2)
Stop and think!
• Does the Associative Property hold true
for Subtraction and Division?
Is (5-2)-3 = 5-(2-3)? Is (6/3)-2 the same as 6/(3-2)?

• Does the Commutative Property hold true


for Subtraction and Division?
Is 5-2 = 2-5? Is 6/3 the same as 3/6?

Properties of real numbers are only for Addition and Multiplication


Inverse Properties
Think: Opposite
What is the opposite (inverse) of addition? Subtraction (add the negative)
What is the opposite of multiplication? Division (multiply by reciprocal)

Rules: Samples:
Inverse Property of Addition Inverse Property of Addition
a+(-a) = 0 3+(-3)=0
Inverse Property of Multiplication Inverse Property of Multiplication

a(1/a) = 1 2(1/2)=1
Identity Properties
What can you add to a number & get the same number back? 0 (zero)
What can you multiply a number by and get the number back? 1 (one)

Rules: Samples:
Identity Property of Addition Identity Property of Addition
a+0 = a 3+0=3
Identity Property of Multiplication Identity Property of Multiplication

a(1) = a 2(1)=2
Distributive Property
If something is sitting just outside a set of parenthesis, you can
distribute it through the parenthesis with multiplication and
remove the parenthesis.

Rule:
a(b+c) = ab+bc
Samples:
4(3+2)=4(3)+4(2)=12+8=20
• 2(x+3) = 2x + 6
• -(3+x) = -3 - x
