Exponents and Order or Operations
---
Ready to get to the root of math's most powerful rule? 🚀 I'm thrilled to announce a new session based on **Khan Academy's Pre-Algebra course**, specifically designed to master **exponents within the order of operations**. In this session, we won't just memorize the rules—we'll build a strong understanding of how to apply them.
We'll cover the following key topics:
* **Understanding the Exponent's Role**: We'll clarify exactly where exponents fit into the **PEMDAS/BODMAS** acronym, ensuring you know when to calculate them and how they interact with parentheses, multiplication, and division.
* **Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them**: We'll look at frequent errors students make when exponents are involved, such as confusing $3^2$ with $3 \times 2$, so you can spot and correct them in your own work.
* **Tackling Multi-Step Problems**: Get ready to solve complex equations that combine exponents with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, building your confidence one step at a time.
And to top it all off, if time allows, we'll put our new skills to the test with a fun and competitive **Kahoot!** or a quick quiz at the end of the session. Get ready to show what you've learned and maybe even win some bragging rights!
Join me as we demystify this critical concept and elevate your problem-solving skills to the next level!🚀⚡⚡
