In math or algebra, many operations are encountered and depending on the order of operations, you will get a different answer. This math lesson shows the proper order of operation, also call PEMDAS or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally as a way to remember this algebra order in math.

The math operations are actually, in order, parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction. These algebra operations must be carried out in a certain order in order for the math answer to come out correctly.

PEMDAS, or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally is a shorthand way to remember the math operations in order so that the algebra gets carried out correctly and everyone will always get the same math answer.
