SLJ Step It Up: Silly Algebra

Today, I did a task in which I learnt BEDMAS to do substitution and solve some questions.

First, I watched this video so that I learn about advanced algebraic problems and get an idea of what I am going to do.

Second, I watched this video in which I learnt about Order of Operations (BEDMAS).

BEDMAS means Brackets, Exponents, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Third, I clicked two different pictures of myself using the webcam of my Chromebook.

Fourth, I edited the pictures using remove.bg which removed the background of my pictures.

Next, I made those pictures my variables and created algebraic questions that could be solved using BEDMAS.

The answer to the first question is 12. The answer to the second question is 4. The answer to the third question is 8.

Then, I added a black background, title, key, symbols, brackets and variables to my google drawings.

Lastly, I embedded my google drawings on my blog post so that I can share my work.

I learnt that if we don't use the order of operations we will get a wrong answer.

An interesting fact is that the order of operation (BEDMAS / PEDMAS) was created in the 1800s.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to learn something new in maths that I didn't know before.
