Understanding the Order of Operations Lesson Plans
About
In this unit, students will connect their prior, real-world knowledge to the concept of order in mathematics. They will go through a discovery process with content that will build a deep, conceptual understanding of why we perform operations in a certain order. This lays the foundation for higher levels of mathematics.
