Students created projects to help them memorize the order of operations.  Students chose between creating a mnemonic device, writing a song, or writing a story for PEMDAS.  Wow!  We have some creative students. Check out some of our work below.

Enzo and João's PEMDAS Story 
A long time ago in the dinosaur age a school named School-Rexducation. In the fifth grade room there were five friends, and one bully, Subtraction. The bully always wanted to be the first and all he did was wrong. The five friends were tired of obeying what Subtraction said. 

One day Parentheses and his friends tried to talk to Subtraction in a nice way, but he didn't listen. So one day when Subtraction was playing he fell from a cliff. Parentheses and his friends were there to save Subtraction. 

The next day after the fall Subtraction was very grateful and stopped bullying them. He became their friends, and they created a group called "PEMDAS". The leader was Parentheses, then Exponents, next was multiplication.  Right after multiplication was division, followed by addition and finally subtraction.

I think the story, the mnemonic device, and the story was really cool but I think that the name of the song is "The Fox", not "What Does the Fox Say?"
