"With Glean PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), we present a math learning environment to help teachers extend students' understanding of order of operations concepts. Glean PEMDAS can be used to introduce Order of Operations, and is best applied to critical application of order. Critical application of Order of Operations moves beyond understanding how operations are applied to understanding what happens when operations within an expression are done in a different order. This process adds flexibility to how students think about number and operations, which is important with the introduction of algebra. "

"The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test, but forget it shortly thereafter, only to review again the following year."

"mathematics. It is every bit as mind blowing as cosmology or physics (mathematicians conceived of black holes long before astronomers actually found any), and allows more freedom of expression than poetry, art, or music (which depend heavily on properties of the physical universe). Mathematics is the purest of the arts, as well as the most misunderstood. http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf Please read this long but enjoyable and very thought provoking essay from Paul Lockhart - it will change your idea of what education should be."
