Order of Operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS)
Students will learn and apply the order of operations to solve multi-step arithmetic problems involving whole numbers.
Key Questions
- Justify the importance of a consistent order of operations in mathematics.
- Analyze how changing the order of operations can alter the result of an equation.
- Construct a multi-step problem that requires the application of BODMAS/PEMDAS.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
