Unit 1: Review of Major Pre-Algebra Concepts Page Unit 1 Learning Outcomes
1.1: Review Order of Operations File Tyler Wallace's "Beginning and Intermediate Algebra: Section 0.3, Order of Operations"

Please read section 0.3 to learn about order of operations. The assignment listed under this subunit corresponds to this reading. Mathematics would be useless if some people thought 3 + 4 x 2 = 14 and others thought 3 + 4 x 2 = 11. Understanding the order of operations is the most basic (and important) task of the student of mathematics.
1.1.1: Removing Parentheses File Tyler Wallace's "Beginning Algebra Lab Notebook: Order of Operations - Introduction"

Please complete pages 4 to 5 of Wallace's workbook to learn about order of operations. Try to complete this exercise before watching the video in this subunit, and then review the worksheet as you follow along with the video for solutions.

Remember that the primary rule for order of operations is that things in parentheses be simplified first.
Page Tyler Wallace's "Order of Operations - Introduction"

Watch the first  video, which introduces you to the order of operations. Please pay attention to the order in which operations are used and the mnemonic PEMDAS and what it stands for. Note that the video does not make use of the equal sign. Please take a look at Saylor Academy's "Revision to MA001 Video" for a detailed explanation of how to solve the two problems presented in the video.

Then, watch the second video. In this video, you will apply PEMDAS to solving problems by first removing parentheses, simplifying exponents, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting. Please understand that regarding multiplication and division, we perform whichever comes first, from left to right.
1.1.2: Absolute Values File Tyler Wallace's "Beginning Algebra Lab Notebook: Order of Operations - Absolute Value"

Complete pages 7 and 8 of Wallace's workbook to apply your knowledge about order of operations with absolute values. Try to complete this exercise before watching the video in this subunit, and then review the worksheet as you follow along with the video for solutions.
