Lesson (GEMDAS Rule)

1
What I need to know

Explains and performs the Grouping, Exponent, Multiplication, Division,

Addition, Subtraction (GEMDAS) rule to two or more different operations on
whole numbers with or without exponents and grouping symbols. (M6NSIIf-
148), (M6NSIIf-149)

What’s New

In this lesson learners will learn on how to explain and perform the Grouping,
Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction (GEMDAS) rule to two
or more different operations on whole numbers with or without exponents and
grouping symbols.
An expression is a mathematical arrangement of a series of operations or
operation signs, numbers, and grouping symbols. Grouping symbols tell which
operation should be perform first. There are three most commonly used grouping
symbols namely parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], and braces { }.
When you perform an expression with a series of operations, the
rules below should be used:
Rule 1: Simplify first all the operations inside the grouping symbols. Grouping
symbols are always done from the innermost to outward set.
Rule 2: Evaluate the exponential expressions or simplify the expression with
exponent.
Rule 3: Multiply and divide in the order that they appear from left to right.
Rule 4: Add and subtract in the order they appear from left to right.
This is what we call now the GEMDAS Rule (Grouping symbols, Exponents,
Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction)
