PEMDAS


PEMDAS is the order of operations in math.  PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.  You use the order PEMDAS when you have a mathematical equation with multiple symbols. 

For homework, I had to make a mnemonic device to help remember PEMDAS, the order of operations.  Mine says "People Everywhere Motivate Dogs and Seals."  I drew a picture of weird Oka Loobas (funny people!) encouraging seals and dogs with treats.  I used color pencil and sharpie.
