Mastering the Order of Operations with PEMDAS

In this video, Mr. J introduces the concept of order of operations, using the acronym PEMDAS to guide students through solving math problems. The video covers four example problems, demonstrating how to apply the rules of parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Mr. J emphasizes the importance of following the correct order and provides step-by-step solutions to each problem. The video concludes with a preview of more challenging problems in part 2.
