Watch the following video on Order of Operations. (The transcript is included.)

Video Transcript

A numerical expression includes numbers and operation symbols, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Because addition is commutative, adding from left to right, or right to left, gives you the same result.

The expressions 2 + 3 and 3 + 2 give the same result. But this isn't the case with all operations.

Subtraction isn't commutative.

In this graphing calculator activity, have your students explore how to convert linear equations in point-slope to a linear function in slope-intercept form. This Desmos template allows students to explore the effect of changes in the values of coordinates of the point and the slope of the line. A companion downloadable worksheet uses the graphing calculator template to explore the properties of these linear equations and functions.
