Have y'all notice from people attempting to do math on Reelz just how bad people are at doing math?

Not understand what you said. I just now Google Reelz and find out it a video streaming service so which show do you watch to see people doing math?

Bebu, it pops up on my FB and people will post various math problems. I think PEMDAS is gotten a lot of people confused.

Or BODMAS our side. Typically ambiguous questions designed to obfuscate.

Bebu, Being a math teacher here, 30 years teaching high school students, and now teaching college students, you would be shocked if I told you the number of students, +30 year old adults included, all have ""learned"" their prior math by memorizing what they have been told, but they have had almost no clue what it all means.

The older I get, the more aware I am of how little I know. And I have no idea what all the strings of capital letters in these posts mean.

Mon, July 31st 2023, 12:47 PM CDT - "AKRON, Ohio (CITC) — Not a single eighth grader at LeBron James’s "I Promise School" in Akron, Ohio has passed state math tests in three years, according to data presented at a local school board meeting." I guess the students were not promised they would be taught arithmetic.

The problem with PEMDAS and BODMAS is that the last part is NEVER (well hardly ever) taught. Both should be immediately followed by "... as they occur from left to right." So often before the person gets to the MDAS part they have already reached the right end of the expression and they just work their way back to the beginning.

Exactly!! As it is, we did very well without PEMDAS and just did the math from left to right as it occurred.

Although I know the rules I didn't know neither PEMDAS or BODMAS until I asked Google. I never learn to remember something by learning the acronym. It slows you down.
