AI Thread Summary
Teachers seeking to help students with algebra problems, particularly in understanding the order of operations and fractions, are encouraged to create review materials with various practice problems. Resources like math-drills.com offer worksheets on PEMDAS and fractions, which can be useful for this purpose. It's suggested to teach the BODMAS rule for order of operations, although some prefer BEDMAS for clarity regarding exponents. Practicing with fraction worksheets is also recommended to enhance understanding. Utilizing these strategies and resources can effectively support students in mastering pre-algebra concepts.

I am a teacher in a school my students has some algebra problems like which comes first multiplication addition...etc

Here's a few links. I googled "Free PEMDAS Worksheets".

First Link. You can refresh this page and get randomly generated new sheets, supposedly.

You get the idea.
 
thanks very much
 
You're welcome!

Please teach yourself what the mnemonic stands for before confusing anyone else.

BODMAS the O stands for Orders, which I find confusing, BEDMAS is better with E standing for Exponents or Exponentiation

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
