Number Sense — Order of Operations and Rational Numbers
In this module you will review the order of operations and how they apply to Algebra concepts. This module will also provide an overview on the properties of Rational numbers as well as discuss some misconceptions held by many students about rational numbers. Often these misconceptions prevent students from truly grasping more complex ideas in Algebra such as proportions and slope. You will also continue to practice using your Math blog to record stories and narrative about everyday math problems that you encounter.
At the completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate and apply the “order of operations” in Mathematics.
- Develop an activity that allows students to practice the “order of operations.”
- Begin to write your own mathography
- Examine the properties and role of rational numbers
