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
and they got problems in fractions also, so i am thinking to make a review with much problems to solve
what i need is some directions or if there is a website with different problems about this subject.

Thanks

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

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

http://www.math-drills.com/orderofoperations.shtml. Not so many sheets, but this site has fractions (scroll all the way to the bottom).

You get the idea.
 
thanks very much
 
You're welcome!
 
You should first teach your students the BODMAS rule which goes like this Bracket open,Division,Multiplication,Addition and then Subtraction and for understanding fraction tell them to practice on fraction worksheets.

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

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
