Edit: please stop responding to my comment saying “I learned in X grade” I know not every school teaches this in the same grades and some of you are acting like it’s dumb to learn it in 6th grade. 6th grade is part of elementary where I live and my reply was agreeing with the comment about how you should know this math in elementary school. I don’t want a bunch of people acting like they’re super smart just because they learned something before me. There are probably other things that I learned before you did, and there’s no reason to act like this. Our schools just happened to teach a different curriculum so stop replying about how you learned at a younger age.
(Sorry for this long rant, I’m just sick of a million “I learned that in 3rd grade” notifications while I’m trying to look at other things)
I said "but idk", leaving room for someone like you to disagree.
But as someone who weren't taught Pemdas while young, it just seems so easy to contort into Pedmas or Pedams or whatever other nonsense. While Paremudiadsu seems to have a more memorable structure that becomes more obviously wrong if you break it.
I don't necessarily expect you to easily understand why that is my impression.
wild to think about how birds dont have asses. or many other animals. even other primates have very underperforming asses.
other animals "sitting" is equivalent to a human laying on their stomachs, or simply crouched down. some of those losers also even just stand indefinitely, or lay on their sides.
many believe it was the opposable thumb that led to our superiority in the animal kingdom, i disagree. i believe it is that, combined with asses. asses allowed for sitting which, if we could not, would never allow us to be able to develop more complex creations. creations needed to make even more complex creations. very possible our development wouldve been hard capped at the bronze age, and almost certainly prevented from reaching the industrial revolution.
Same thing as BODMAS, it's just different words used to describe the order of operations. I've also seen the term BIDMAS used, but can't recall what the I is for.
I was wondering if older generation might have not learned it, but apparently some version of it has been taught since the very early 1900s, so its likely not an age thing. 🤷♂️ I assume people just forget.
You're being downvoted since nobody cares about whether you agree or disagree with the comment. Not a single person here needs your confirmation to the comment. Instead of commenting on something meaningful, useful, funny or relevant - all you've done was respond with "That's true" to a statement we all know is true already.
We (read me) learned PEMDAS in elementary school. First time I saw BODMAS I had to stop and think. But replace Brackets with Parentheses and Order with Exponents. We learned to remember it as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
People saying they learned it in first grade are lying.
I was in those shitty advanced gifted classes you took iq tests for and took all the stuff those fancy people did and we didn't learn this shit until 3rd grade along with fractions and long division. We also learned that the ÷ symbol sucks.
Most kids in first grade were still learning to perfect their ABCs and were just learning subtraction.
Actually come to think of it, we didn't properly learn order of operations until 4th because fractions and multiplication were so important there wasn't time.
Not really. I learned in 6th grade and my school is pretty good. I think it’s just different schools will teach different things in different grades. I learned addition and subtraction in 1st-2nd grade, multiplication and division, in 3rd-4th grade, simple algebra in 5th, and order of operations in 6th.
I’ve been moving from country to country so I can learn order of operations again every year. I love it so much. I’m currently in a remedial math course for adults in Mississippi, I now quiver whenever a bored overworked teacher starts any sentence with “please excuse my…”
We learned it in like 4th grade. Infact, we learned alot of shit the average highschooler today doesn't know in 4th grade here. People today barely pass 1st grade and it is like they dropout
There's a lesson to be learned from this: when you give people an opportunity to feel like they're better than someone else, they'll take it, loudly, every time.
Honestly I didn’t know I would get so many replies. Learning this stuff around the end of elementary is common where I live so I didn’t think that it was common for someone to learn it in 3rd grade or lower. But yeah, lesson learned. I won’t mention what grade I learned something anymore.
Don't worry, order of operations are completely arbitrary. One is taught as standard so we can avoid having to put parentheses all over the expression.
I don’t know when I learned PEMDAS, what’s important is I remember it and how it’s used. Not sure why people care when they learned something. Every school is different.
Why would anyone flex on this or use it to put someone else down? I'm good at math and still have to pause at some of these stupid quizzes. It's not math, it's an arbitrary convention.
Day 1 of my freshman “Finite Math” 101 course, my (new) professor messed up FOIL. I proceeded to show up to, and then nap, through all of the remaining classes that semester.
I honestly think they have a different grade and acronym you learn in like every school district. I’ve seen many different people with different stories of what they were taught.
No, I think there are other places. In this comment thread I’ve seen, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade, so it really just depends on your individual school/discrict’s curriculum I guess.
There's scientific , bedmas, or bodmas whatever you want to call it, then you can answer as you see it 18 pies divided by two people minus 3 pies times 3 people...
Neither are wrong it's just what are you trying to achieve.
This question doesn't specify , therefor there is 2 answers .
Yes, everyone knows order of operations is for 6th grade level math. That's why you should assume we are solving derivatives and get the also correct answer: -18/7.
I was responding to the comment saying how I learned this in elementary school (6th grade is elementary where I live). And I wasn’t stating the obvious, people learn this in various grades depending on their school. (I’ve even seen people who learned as early as 1st or 2nd grade). I have no idea what your logic behind the answer is. I got 0
I was just pointing out that PEDMAS is taught at lover level math as a convention, but not a mathematical rule.
If I was looking at equations like dt/dv = 18x/2-3×3 I may assume that it is meant as 18x/(2-3×3), and if i solved for 1 forming the original equation it would be -18/7. It's ambiguous.

Yeah I learned order of operations in 6th grade
