Practice evaluating expressions using order of operations and variables - Algebra Readiness Remediation Plan

This performance task has the students working as bookkeepers for a P.P.E. Manufacturing Company to see how many P.P.E. they sold by adult and children sizes over a 2-3 month period of time and if their price of production vs cost for consumers to buy was enough that they made a profit or if they needed to make adjustments. This performance task has the students using PEMDAS to better understand how Algorithms and Programming are used in our everyday lives. 

Students will create a flowchart to demonstrate order of operations. They will use the flowchart to be able to solve a mathematical problem. 

In this performance task, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate the use of flowcharts in Google Draw and then create their own flowchart to show their understanding of the Order of Operations.

Mic Drop Maths is a mathematics podcast for 5th graders based on the VA Standards of Learning. Each episode addresses one standard and is broken into segments including concept, real-world application, math history, literature connections, misconceptions, and more! There is music, sound effects, jokes, and student voice in each engaging and entertaining episode. 

In this virtual scavenger hunt, students will simplify expressions, by using the order of operations, and rearrange cards so they are in the correct order.
