Order of Operations WebQuest

Goal: You are going to determine the order of operations used to solve mathematical expressions. You will also learn a mnemonic to help you remember the order of operations. After you practice using the order of operations, you will look at some incorrect problems to determine what error the students made and correct those problems using the order of operations.

You and a partner will create a small PowerPoint presentation. The answers to each problem are NOT correct. You will need to identify the error that was made, find the correct answer, and explain how to evaluate the problem. Check to make sure you have met all the requirements for your slideshow by filling in question #15-16 on your WebQuest handout.
