Order of Operations

Lesson Objective: Students will solve math

problems using the order of operations

Critical Thinking~ Following Directions

(In your math notebook)

Describe why it is important to follow steps in

order in life. When could it cause serious

problems if you didn’t follow particular steps?

How can this relate to mathematics?

Cami was just beginning to understand why her best friend, Julia, loved riding horses so much. When Julia had first asked her to join her for a Saturday ride through the canyon, Cami was hesitant. She had never been on a horse before, and they were such large, powerful creatures. An hour into the ride, she was having a blast. Smokey, the painted stallion she was riding, was so passive and minded her every command with ease. That was until without warning he reared up on its hind legs, pawed at the air and neighed loudly. Cami tightened her legs around Smokey’s body and pulled back firmly on the reins.

Why was Cami most likely hesitant to go horseback riding with her friend?

• She was worried that she would laugh at her lack of equestrian skills.

• She already had plans for Saturday afternoon.

• She did not want to look foolish next to Julia who was an experienced rider.

• She feared that the horses might harm her.

Cami was just beginning to understand why her best friend, Julia, loved riding horses so much. When Julia had first asked her to join her for a Saturday ride through the canyon, Cami was hesitant. She had never been on a horse before, and they were such large, powerful creatures. An hour into the ride, she was having a blast. Smokey, the painted stallion she was riding, was so passive and minded her every command with ease. That was until without warning he reared up on its hind legs, pawed at the air and neighed loudly. Cami tightened her legs around Smokey’s body and pulled back firmly on the reins.

Based on the horse’s actions at the end of the paragraph, the reader can conclude that —

• Cami will be thrown from the horse and suffer an injury

• the stallion was spooked by something on the trail

• Cami will get control of the horse and continue the ride

• Smokey has a playful side to him
