La priorité des opérations

Put your thinking caps on and solve these expressions:

1.   2 + 5 x 3

2.   10 - 3 x 3

3.   3 x 8 - 7 x 2

4.   9 + 9 ➗ 3

Did you get the following answers?

1. 17   2. 1   3. 10   4. 12

These same questions sure had us thinking, too! 

To help us all arrive at the same answer, we've added a new skill to our Math arsenal: 

"la priorité des opérations" (aka PEDMAS)!

The acronym PEDMAS helps us remember the order of operations 

when we are evaluating a Math expression or equation.

We will continue practicing how to solve a variety of equations this week. Please ask me about 'la priorité des opérations'! What do I already understand? What questions do I still have?

AGENDA

1. Spend some time reading this week!

 Je Lis! (Home reading site)

OR

 ebookids.com is a great site that offers a variety of French stories as well as audio books. 

Setting aside 10-15 minutes for French reading will have a huge impact on French language development.

2. Basketball ID camps are underway.

This is for anyone who would like to play on the competitive Tier 1 or Tier 2 teams.

Girls: Thursday - 3:45-5:30

Boys: Wednesday and Friday - 3:45 - 5:30.

Atomic Basketball (noon hour practices and in-school tournaments) will begin in January.

3. CFOO#2 - Créativité - Thursday, December 6.

See THIS POST for all the CFOO details.

**Reminder: All visuals (powerpoint slides, etc.) must be submitted to Teams BEFORE the presentation date. Students will not have the opportunity to access a computer the morning of the presentations in order to send in their work. As this is an 'art oratoire' (speaking) task, students can complete their presentation without an added visual element.
