Order of Operations
The order of operations is a set of rules that tells you which mathematical operations to perform first in an expression. This helps to ensure that everyone gets the same answer when solving a problem.
The Order of Operations Rules
The order of operations is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for:
- Parentheses - Resolve expressions within parentheses first
- Exponents - Solve any exponents or powers
- Multiplication and Division - Perform multiplication and division from left to right
- Addition and Subtraction - Perform addition and subtraction from left to right
Example
Let's consider the expression 4 + 3 * 2. According to the order of operations, we should perform the multiplication first and then the addition. So, 4 + 3 * 2 = 4 + 6 = 10.
Conclusion
Understanding the order of operations is important for solving mathematical problems accurately. By following these rules, you can ensure that your calculations are done in a consistent and correct manner.

Measurement (NCTM)
Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement.
Understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of angle and select the appropriate type of unit for measuring each attribute.
Understand that measurements are approximations and how differences in units affect precision.
Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements.
Select and apply appropriate standard units and tools to measure length, area, volume, weight, time, temperature, and the size of angles.
Connections to the Grade 3 Focal Points (NCTM)
Measurement: Students in grade 3 strengthen their understanding of fractions as they confront problems in linear measurement that call for more precision than the whole unit allowed them in their work in grade 2. They develop their facility in measuring with fractional parts of linear units. Students develop measurement concepts and skills through experiences in analyzing attributes and properties of two-dimensional objects. They form an understanding of perimeter as a measurable attribute and select appropriate units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving perimeter.
