Order of Operations

A WebQuest for 6th-8th Grade Math Students

Designed by: Wendy Esquivel- [email protected]

Adopted by: Felicia Andorko- [email protected]

Introduction

Can you go to your classes whenever you want or do you have to follow the order of the schedule you

were assigned? Will your locker open if you use the three numbers in any order? Does it matter if you turn

the lock to the left or to the right first? Does 2 + 5 x 3 equal 21 or 17? You will be using this WebQuest to

find out the order of operations that must be followed when evaluating mathematical expressions so that

everyone gets the same answer.

Task

You are going to determine the order of operations that is used to evaluate mathematical expressions.

Once you have done this, you will discover memory devices the United States uses to remember the

order of operations and compare them to those that other countries use. Then create your own

mnemonic and illustrate it using Microsoft Word. There will be several checks for understanding along

the way including a matching challenge and an online quiz. Finally, you will work with a partner to

analyze a problem that was done incorrectly and create a PowerPoint presentation that identifies the

error in the problem and demonstrates the correct way to evaluate the problem with a step-by-step

explanation.
