Understanding Order of Operations in Mathematics

The video tutorial guides students through solving math problems using the GEMD method, which stands for Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Subtraction/Addition. The instructor demonstrates how to apply this method step-by-step to ensure no steps are missed, emphasizing the importance of rewriting problems to avoid errors. The tutorial covers two example problems, illustrating the process of solving them by following the GEMD order of operations.
