Create a 35-minute integers and order of operations review lesson for on-level 7th graders preparing for their MOY benchmark assessment, focusing on PEMDAS application in increasingly complex multi-step expressions. Design a structured practice sequence where students identify first steps before solving, work independently then discuss their approach, and learn to estimate for checking reasonableness. Include a PEMDAS anchor chart emphasizing thoughtful order rather than panic, and incorporate s...
This resource focuses on mastering the order of operations when evaluating multi-step expressions involving integers, specifically using the PEMDAS strategy (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction). It includes warm-up exercises for basic integer operations, detailed worked examples demonstrating each step in the evaluation process, and various practice problems to reinforce understanding. The structured approach guides learners through each component of expressions, emphasizing careful handling of negative integers and the importance of sequential operation execution. It also offers tips for independent practice and self-assessment to promote mastery of the concept.
