Order of Operations retake mistake
Please note that there is a mistake on the second problem on the Order of Operations retake. The original problem looks like this: (8+4) ÷ 52
- 70 . Please change the “÷” operation to a “+” (add) operation and solve. Thank you

Order of Operations
Order of Operations: What is it, why we need it, and why it’s our best friend?
5 +3 = 8 is an easy equation because there is only one
operation (addition), but what happens when you are given 5 + 32
x (9-8)? No worries, you have PEMDAS!!! PEMDAS tells us
the order in which we do the following operations in this problem. Using PEMDAS,
I know to do what’s in the parentheses first (9-8), then the exponent (32),
so now my problem looks like this: 5+9x1 I am not finished, still using PEMDAS I will multiply 9 X 1
then add 5 last which gives me the
solution: 14
What are the Order of Operations?
1. Calculations must be done from left to right.
1. Calculations must be done from left to right.
2. Calculations
in parentheses (brackets) are done first. When you have more than one set of
brackets, do the inner brackets first.
3. Exponents
must be done next.
4. Multiply
and divide in the order the operations occur (from left to right)
5. Add and
subtract in the order the operations occur (from left to right)

Fibonacci Sequence in action
Fibonacci Sequence
The Fibonacci sequence is created by adding the last two terms to create the next term. The first six terms are:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ....
